🧜‍♀️ Guys! I'm heading to Sirenland on September 9th to see the renowned Siren Show! I heard that everything is siren themed over there, from the boardwalk gift shops to the drinks sold at the restaurants. Oh! I also heard that there's the opportunity for a photo-op with the sirens themselves! It's super convenient to me that they have parking right on site by the beach. I hope to see you there, the tickets are selling out fast!
