so this was supposed to be a recap of last weekend in connecticut, but somehow it is friday and well it will be a recap in what i've been up to in pictures because well i've gotten horrible at blogging.
so last weekend i had off friday and decided to go to mystic to see amy and to say goodbye to mystic and all the adventures i had visiting amy and also living up there twice. so it was a fabulous weekend and nice to get away. i took the train up thursday night after work and was able to enjoy 3 glorious days!
sun rising over coastal connecticut - i was somewhere between old saybrook and mystic when i took this. this is why i miss living along the coast.
friday during the day while amy was at work i walked around mystic, went to the beach along the long island sound and read and enjoyed the relaxingness of the beach. but it was also over 100 so i spent most of the time in the water up to my waist reading my kindle to keep cool!
then we went to all my favorite places in mystic with amy and sarah! pizzetta for dinner (mac & cheese pizza and a bottle of red) followed by drinks at harp - where a married couple on a date night bought us shots of tequila. and then we ended the night at margaritas for some yummy margs and chips!
saturday we went to the book barn in niantic - my favoritest used book store in the world and i bought some books. i got 2 more of the irish immigration research books i've been collecting. which was exciting. and a few other fun historical and other books i'd been looking for. and that night amy's brother was in town and we all went and saw harry potter 7 and more drinks around mystic!
sunday afternoon we went to napatree point. the beach we usually went to and i was even more in love with it because i was reading a book about the hurricane of 1938, which destroyed many of the beachside communities in new england, including napatree which had 39 houses which were wiped to see in a few hours due to the storm surge. pbs did a great show on the hurricane - yay american experience! 26 minutes into the show is a great thing on napatree and a family who survived.
so since the weather was a bit cooler and it was overcast we just hiked around napatree to the fort and laughed about the last time we went to the fort and we had to ford a river... so after a few more hours of fun in connecticut i hopped back on the train to dc and got in at 3am.
and then i was off to work and went to play at mt. vernon with a group of students and some other fun dc places. it was fun to say hi to george washington!
and well now that i'm done with programs and i'm just finishing up things at work for the next few weeks - we manage to also have some fun. here is annie in her fort.
and then annie's going away party - she had to leave a few weeks early as she starts law school in two weeks. we had a hilarious evening at nooshi in dc.
and well we know my love of country music and concerts... so last week i kept hearing at keith urban was coming to dc on the radio so i said hey, why not? so last night the fabulous mj and i went and saw keith urban and jake owen!
woooo nosebleed seats! but it was still so much fun!
"i wanna put you in a song"
we had a fun night dancing and singing along to keith urban. and i love him.
so now it is friday again and i have some fun weekend plans. and it is my birthday this weekend. so i'm looking forward to the next few weeks in dc. i'm heading home to jersey on the 12th and then home for a few days before i pack up and move to charleston. so it is going to be a busy few weeks but i'm looking forward to the exciting new things happening over the next few weeks!
