| jellyfish installation at the National Aquarium, Inner Harbor, MD |

Happy Friday, or should I say FRY-day? The heat index is somewhere between OMG and WTF.

Connecticut usually doesn’t get too hot in the summer, we’ll have a handful of days in the 90’s but for the most part it is bearable. It was 97 degrees yesterday and it felt like it came out of no where.

I wish we could escape the heat, because I’m actually blogging from Baltimore, Maryland today. Even though we are on a road trip, it’s just stinking hot everywhere on the East Coast. It is so hot in Baltimore that they have issued a Code Red heat advisory. Thankfully, we’ll be inside the National Aquarium at Inner Harbor for a better part of the day. Kinda wish I was a mermaid on days like this.

If it is too hot to venture outside, the one of a kind Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public today! HUGE savings people, click here to see my top 10 picks under $100.00

I’m keeping this post short and sweet to maximize the time with my family. Please stay cool (literally) and have a wonderful weekend xo
