Highlights of my East Coast endeavors so far:
1. My plane was delayed a lot because apparently it is monsoon season in New England!
2. Arrived to Boston airport two hours late, then caught a bus to Portsmouth, NH where Jess and Ben picked me up
3. I forgot how much I love Maine! I also discovered that in Colorado we only think we have rain. Real rain occurs in Maine. Kind of like how other states think they have mountains but we from Colorado know what real mountains are like. Every state has its thing. Maine's is rain...? haha. And lobster of course, which I have yet to try. Maybe sometime this week. We'll see.
4. Yesterday Jess and Ben and I made coffee and took it with us for a walk down by the ocean. Gorgeous views! What a way to start the day: sipping coffee and strolling around the beach while the day gets nice and warm from the sun which apparently hasn't shown its face in a few days here.
5. Yesterday night was Jess' bachelorette party! We drove to Portland and got a hotel room, got all dressed up and headed out for dinner, drinks, dancing and lots of fun! There were a few other bachelorette parties out last night too which was funny. We all had sashes saying "bride to be" "maid of honor" and "bridesmaid" but people (mostly the drunk ones) were confused and kept asking if we were all getting married, or if it was someone's birthday, or if we were in a pageant! Hah. Right. Most people figured out what we were doing though and wished Jess congratulations and such. We made her ask five guys throughout the night to fake propose to her with a giant plastic ring and took some pretty hilarious pictures of the proposals! My feet were in unbelievable amounts of pain by the end of the night. Never again will I wear high heels. Especially not out dancing. Psh.
6. Father's day dinner tonight with Jess and Zach and their dad and Ben!
7. Today was the longest day of the year. We tried the mythical egg balancing trick and Jess discovered her new talent of egg balancing! Then she looked up the myth online and turns out it's not only on the equinox that you can balance an egg on its end, apparently you can do it any day. Dang. And all this time I thought that was just the coolest thing about the equinox! It's still pretty amazing to get an egg to balance on its end. I guess we'll have to try it again another day to prove that it's not only on the equinox that you can do it.
Didn't get much sleep last night so I'm exhausted. Time for bed.
*peace and love*
1. That sucks.
ReplyDelete2. Hope they didn't have to wait too long, or you didn't miss your bus! I remember when I did that in high school and it was kind of scary. I had to take 2 different busses though, and they were around NYC and it was a redeye flight that I didn't get to sleep at all on. Ugh.
3. What we had all last month wasn't rain? I remember in the Catskills people would talk about hiking a mountain or skiing a mountain and I always thought it was adorable that they were talking about hills.
4. You're making me really excited for my beach trip.
5. Sounds fun, despite the lack of male strippers :-)
6. :-)
7. I've never done that... but I have soaked an egg in vinegar overnight. Have you tried that one?
PS GREAT PHOTO!
