2 Serious Events

Richmond, VA September 27, 2008

I drove down to Richmond, VA with some friends on Friday September 26 to attend a very exciting event.  Jay and Heidi's Wedding!  woooo hooooo yeaaaaaa!  It was a lovely and fun wedding and I am so happy I got to see one of my oldest friend marry the woman he loves!  In 9th grade I got my first detention because of this man and now look at him...incredible. 
And then....a week later...my magical friend Patrick came through again, and somehow got us on the list to see the Pretenders!  I can't even begin to explain how much I love Chrissie Hynde.  She is my #1 favorite female rocker.  She rocked so hard and she looked amazing!  I am seriously considering altering my look to be more like her.  She is so AWESOME!  

Catching Up Part 3-Summertime Fun!

Ohhhh Yeaahhhhhh!!!!  Tubin' down the Delaware River on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Woo Hoo!

On one of the last Sundays in August me and 10 friends drove 2 cars out across the Jersey line into Pennsylvania for some fun summertime tubing.  It was AWESOME!  Great weather, great company and a couple of cold brews as we floated 3 hours down the river.  I love getting out of the city whenever possible and it was great to have a group of friends get out together.  After the river we checked out a local bar called AppleJack, where we all scarfed down hot wings, fries, pizza and other delicious bar food.  An all around successful outing!  Next year will be second annual!  

After tubing I got dropped off at my father's house in Jersey for a little family getaway to Baltimore, MD.  My father, brother, sister and I drove down for the night in celebration of my father's birthday, which is in February, haha.   We stayed in the Inner Harbor, went to the aquarium, the science center and got to check out a baseball game at Camden Yards.  We got to sit right on the first base line!  This is the first game I had been to in years and it was alot of fun.  I love stadiums!  Music, yelling, beers, dancing, the wave, more yelling! So exciting. 

Catching up Part 2-Don't go Chasin' Waterfalls

At the end of July my dad came into the city to take a little boat ride and check out some waterfalls.  Yup, i said waterfalls.  All summer long waterfalls were implanted in NYC care of Olafur Eliasson.  My dad and I took a half hour long boat ride out of the South Street Seaport to see all 4 waterfalls up close.  I think it's great that we, who live in this city, get to experience art installations of this size.  It was a lovely day to be out on the water in the city.  

Catching up Part 1

Hello friends!  Well...it is now October 13, 2008.  I have been slackin' a little on the updates in the last 2 months, so I thought I would write up a re-cap of all that has been going on in the last few months.  Here it goes...At the end of July I spent a few days in LBI with my mom, aunt nancy and my sister.  All of our time was spent relaxing on the beach and chillin' by the grill.  It was a lovely little getaway.  

Then...the next weekend...I went tubing with my friend Ellie, on the Delaware River in Pennsylvania.  The trip was amazing and led to another venture out there, which you will later learn about.  Anyway, this is a New Jersey sunset we encountered on our way home.  We were just leaving the famous WaWa when we were overtaken with the beautiful jersey sky. 

More to come....
