Summer 2009
Summer has been busy and hectic, but I have been able to do a lot of fun things!
I was able to go to Florida for six days with both my mom's sisters, my 3 year old cousin and my grandfather. We had three full days on the beach and I got burned to a crisp. I didn't realize until after I got home, but I actually got sun poisoning. It was awful because I had to spent the next couple days drink lots of water and covering my body in aloe. I do have a nice tan now though. :) We also did some house hunting with my aunt who is originally from Florida and wants to move back. The cost of living is so cheap and the jobs still pay well.
After Florida I took a half day trip to Boston w/Jon to see the Red Sox. I also had a couple fun day trips to the beach, boating on the CT river and going out for drinks with friends. Jon and I just returned this weekend from Maine after staying at our favorite B&B, The Candleshop Inn. It is about a 5 minute walk from York Beach and its like staying in an old Victorian house! We spent the day swimming in the ocean and wandering in and out of little shops and eating ice cream and snow cones. After that I took some photos with my new camera and Jon used his new skateboard. The evening we went out for dinner and then drove across the border to Portsmouth, NH. Looked around in some more cool shops and had dessert and drinks. The next morning we (attempted) to watch the sunrise, but it was cloudy.
The rest of the summer is about to end, but I will get to still visit some family in upstate NY and then visit a friend in Vermont! Believe it or not I am looking forward to summer being over. It's been so hot and I am getting excited thinking about all the fall activities coming up, including the Big E.
I hope everyone had just as fun a summer as I did! :)
