My one and only east coast dreaded friend Libby Glenn invited me to go Apple Picking with a group at BU last weekend....I said yes. We took a bus heading outbound for about an hour and a half until we reached our destination. It was my first time seeing Massachusetts beyond Boston. The trees here are slowly starting to change color, something else that is quite new to me. Everything new, new, new. I've never been apple picking (and yet I came from Apple Valley? Hmmmm.) It was a beautiful area. I have some shots for you, mostly from a short hike that was open to take while we were there. New England know's what's going on. The transition into the fall lifestyle is slowly starting to be seen. I'm sitting in the most epic tea shop ever listening to Ingrid Michaelson's "Maybe", while the weather outside is legitimately perfect. Peace and Love from Cambridge. <3
Last weekend I took a trip down to New York for the Millennium Campus Conference (but primarily to see my very best friend RACHEL BECK!) Besides being in NYC, the trip was crazy. I got into the city so late, so I wasn't able to check into Rachel's residence hall, and therefore we had to sleep outside. HA! That was the most epic night of my life. Yet, we endured, and the next two days the conference proceeded. We were able to meet the Invisible Children roadies (including Brenda and Benna from Uganda) as well as get a crap load of information about other non-profits. It was quite overwhelming, but a good overwhelming. Being with rachel (while the rest of the gang was gettin' janky in Barstow) was so refreshing. And it all concluded with the broadway show Next to Normal. That was when I died happy. Legitimately, the show blew me away. I was so stoked! Oh, and I missed my bus back because of the show. :) But, it was all worth it.
This = sleeping outside = sprinklers = <3
