Admiral

Admiral, like many of his penguin friends, loves to travel. In fact, he just got back from the West Coast, where he was visiting friends in Pasadena. Besides catching up with his buddies and just generally enjoying beautiful sunny Southern California, the highlight of his trip was the visit to Pasadena’s fabulous Bunny Museum. Located in a private home, the museum houses 25,000 bunny items – ranging from bunny plush to figurines to Rose Parade float bunnies - and is also home to three very cute pet bunnies (Admiral brought them some apples to eat!).


Admiral enjoyed talking to Candace, who told him all about the collection. Candace and her husband Steve began exchanging bunny gifts in 1993, and opened their home as a museum in 1998.


The diverse collection includes animals dressed as bunnies; Admiral was sad to learn that there were no penguins in this section of the museum, so he drew a chalk penguin dressed as a bunny in the museum’s garden.


Even though the museum is penguin-free, Admiral has added it to his list of favorite museums, and recommends that you visit The Bunny Museum if you happen to find yourself in Southern California.


After visiting the museum, Admiral decided he needed a little treat (or two), so he hit the South Pasadena Farmer’s Market. Blatantly ignoring the no animals allowed rule he waddled from stand to stand. He had a hard time deciding between all of the delicacies, and in the end opted for some vegetarian goodies from Dave’s Gourmet Korean Food, tamales from Corn Maiden’s gourmet tamales (his favorite was the blue corn, roasted chile and Monterey jack cheese one) and a big bag of Kettle Corn.
