What A Wonderful World

Hello all! Much has happened since I last wrote. First, a week ago today (July 12th) my uncle Steve got remarried! I helped my new Aunt Sharon set up for the wedding, which was in the backyard of my Steve’s brother (my uncle) Phil and Aunt Joanne. They have a beautiful house right on Lake Winnisquam. It was nice too, because after I was done setting up I jumped into the lake, clothes and all. It was so relaxing and refreshing. The wedding was fun too. I relived my clubbing days in Quito and got jiggy with it on the dance floor. And, I got to watch my grandparents dance together. Man, they are great dancers! My mom said when she was younger they used to go dancing all the time, and it shows. They are in their 70’s, but they are sharp as ever! This was also fun because after a mistake by the DJ had us dancing to Cotton Eyed Joe two times, my cousins and I decided a dunk in the lake is what we needed. It was so refreshing, even if it messed up my hair. It turns out that I got so jiggy with it I was sore the next day. All my muscles ached. This past Weds, my parents and I went to the beach. My grandparents bring their trailer to the state park and camp there, so we had free parking and free lunch courtesy of them. After, I did my favorite thing in the whole world- lay on the beach like a useless bum. I wanted to go boogey boarding, but the lifeguard flag was red, which meant the waves and rip tide were at a dangerous level. I couldn’t even ride the waves, so I basically sat on the sand in the water and got my hair wet, then came out. But, I had fun lying like a bum on the beach. I also went for a long walk from the state park to the boardwalk (probably about a mile one way) to get Blink’s Fried Dough. I don’t know if they are at any other beach, but at Hampton, they have a bright orange sign and two locations, one on each side of the boardwalk. The great thing about Blink’s is that you can have almost anything on the fried dough. I always get mine with chocolate sauce and sprinkles. This is always part of the Blink’s experience. After a long day of lying in the sun being useless, we headed home. I am now very tanned. I haven’t done much since then, just mostly hanging out at home and such. But, I am excited to be returning to Keene in less than a month. Plus, I found out that part of RA training this year will be at a camp in the Berkshires! Sounds like fun! That’s all for now, stick around for my next post, coming soon!

Happy early July 4th! This week has been fun. Monday, Josh and I took a roadtrip to Boston. We weren’t exactly sure what we wanted to do there, but we were bored and needed to leave Hudson. We drove down to Medford, where we hopped on the orange line at Wellington Station. We got off right by government center, in the heart of the tourist district. We went looking for this Irish pub that was supposed to have delicious food. We found it, and decided to split the Freedom Trail appetizer, which consisted of nachos, french fries, buffalo wings, chicken tenders, onion rings, and potato skins. It was a mountain of food, and we ate almost all of it. We decided we needed to have Boston creme pie, so ordered it we did. It was so worth it. Interestingly enough, supposedly there was a plan to capture Paul Revere, and the plan was discovered at this pub. Pretty neat. After leaving the restaurant, we walked over to tourist central- aka Fanuiel Hall and Quincy Market. I had my fun making fun of tourists, and we got to watch these cool performers. Afterwards, we decided to walk around Boston. This is easy for us to do because we pretty much know our way around Boston. We walked into the financial district, and then continued on down by south station, right onto the piers. We took a bridge into East Boston, and ended up all the way by Logan airport. After our journey back into Boston, we saw Get Smart in the theater right on the common. It was such a good movie, if you haven’t seen it already, you should! Anyway, after that we walked around some more, and I made more cracks at tourists and even quacked at a duck boat. We then decided to look at expensive crap that we could never afford, so we went into Barneys, Neiman Marcus, and Saks. Boy, rich people sure do pay alot for polo shirts. We decided to head home, because by this time it was almost 7. We had to make a stop at Texas Roadhouse for some lovely meat and rolls though.
The next day we decided to go to the beach. It was such a nice beach day, up until the sun decided it wanted to hide behind the clouds. We decided to go eat some dinner and get some Blink’s fried dough before heading home. Oh, and I watched him waste his money at some shooting games in the Hampton Casino. And we also ran into a high school friend. Pretty fun day.
Other than that, I really didn’t do anything fun this week, except maybe mow the lawn. It was nice to actually do something for once, I have barely any friends in Hudson anymore, as most of my friends go to Keene State and live in other states.
Happy July 4th to all! Hope you all are doing something exciting.
On a side note, I relinked my photos from Facebook. For some reason, they had expired. So enjoy!
