Weekend in Bremerton, Washington (Part II)

Sunday was a lovely morning, too short of course.  I had another morning jog before breakfast for a half hour.  We had breakfast with my cousin Kandace (I'm really young in my family - she is in her 30s).  I got to read outdoors for a good while, and then we visited an open house at a place my aunt and uncle were interested in.  It's a good location and a nice-looking neighborhood.  The basement creeps me out a little bit, but it's a nice size and it had a lot of natural light flowing into the rooms.  Before it was time to get going on home, we visited the Bremerton City Nursery to look at their succulents.  My aunt got me seven new ones, two sacks of cacti soil, and an air plant.  She also gave me an old birdbath of hers that leaks, so that I can have a place for the new plants.  I'm thinking she just wanted to get rid of the birdbath, but it works for me!  My dad is going to make sure the stem of the birdbath is cemented to the base so it doesn't tilt from the plants' weight.  Then he is going to drill some more holes in the birdbath so there's better drainage for the plants.
Before we got home however, my aunt had us stop by this Wild Birds Unlimited sanctuary that is very near my house.  It's been near my house for years and years, but I never thought to stop by.  I sure wish I had done so earlier because the place is beautiful!  My aunt also picked up some bird feed while we were there, so we were not complete loiterers.
All right now, here is the rest of my post in iPhone 5S photos.  I promise to start taking and posting pictures with my DSLR for the next posts!

Blurry outfit of the day, sorry!  My sister wanted the mirror and I was rushing.  Nordstrom scarf, Buckle tank top and belt, Forever 21 cardigan, and Miss Me jeans.
Vivid blooms at the Bremerton City Nursery!

Wildlife Sanctuary entrance!  So charming.
Their cute little welcome sign.
They keep a cat in the shop!  It's a big, fluffy ginger cat named Luther, and he has his own Facebook!
A cute little air plant from the Bremerton City Nursery.
SEVEN new succulent plants!  An early birthday present courtesy of my beloved Aunt Anna.
My air plant and my lantern from World Market in happy matrimony.  I think I am going to name my air plant Thaddeus.

The succulents are (figuratively) dying to be in their birdbath!  When it's finished, I will make a post about it.
Well, this concludes my weekend in Bremerton, Washington.  It was a weekend very well spent and I can't wait to start planting those new succulents.  Hope you enjoyed!
