Autumn in Vermont

This weekend was filled with many autumnal activities. I taste-tested organic produce and delectable treats at a local farmers market, shopped for warm attire on Church Street and took a trip to the Shelburne Museum where I quickly fell in love with Vermont foliage in addition to the museum's many diverse galleries and sites. If you happen to take a trip to Burlington in the future, I highly recommend visiting the Shelburne Museum; displays vary from Impressionist paintings to historic Steamboat Ticonderoga. Here are some photos of the museum's grounds!

Happy fall!

   

Block Island

Throughout my sister's high school and college years, Block Island was always her most favored summer destination. To this day, she treasures the moments in which her and her friends would spend the Fourth of July and the third of July, her birthday, at a large beach house on the petite oasis. This summer, her 25th birthday request was to spend the weekend of the Fourth on the island with her family. We stayed at the Spring House, a beautiful and historical inn that stands charmingly on a hill of emerald overlooking the Atlantic. The weekend was filled with delectable fresh sea food, scenic bike riding, sunbathing beside transcendent ocean waves, charming boutique shopping, and a quirky Fourth-of-July parade.

April in Manhatten

I love New York in the springtime. The cherry blossom trees add to the village's nostalgic appeal, the Central Park greenery turns the landscape into an attraction for people of all ages and types, and the gentle sunlight highlights the eclectic assembly of Manhattan pedestrians. I was lucky enough to experience a beautiful spring morning in NYC today after seeing Mike Birbiglia's My Girlfriend's Boyfriend last night at the Greenwich House Theater. In addition to meandering through Manhattan in April or May, I highly recommend seeing the show; it was both hysterical and sweet.

Celebratory Outings

Ms. Wright was my freshman English teacher, or at least that's what I initially referred to her as. as time progressed, my girlfriends and I became more and more close with Ms. Wright, until we all eventually stopped considering her a fellow teacher, and instead, a fellow classmate (she's frequently mistaken for a student).

When Ms. Wright informed my friends and I that her high school sweetheart had finally proposed, we were all in shock. these past couple of months following the announcement have allowed us to endure both our excitement and the fact that we will be attending the ceremony of our teacher's (a.k.a. girlfriend's) wedding.

As the last few weeks prior to the wedding wind down, I can't help but consider what I am going to wear to this much anticipated event. alas, I think I have finally reached a consensus (see below.)
