nyc day one

June 03, 2016

Today was the first day we spent in my marveled New York. It wasn't much as we arrived late afternoon, and had no real plans formulated, but we still managed to try to get a little done today.


The first thing that came up that would be the easiest to do would be visiting Times Square which we did  since it was close by. We spent some time shopping and people watching in the flurry that is Times Square until we realized were were one block away from the Richard Rogers Theatre.

The Richard Rogers Theatre!!



For anyone who doesn't know what the Richard Rogers Theatre is currently housing they need to get on that immediately. The Richard Rogers Theatre is currently home to Hamilton the Musical. Needless to say my sister and I were practically shaking from excitement. Hopefully we can see a #Ham4Ham show while we're here? Doubtful, but it would be amazing.



Following the Richard Rogers Theatre we went down to the closest park to close out of day. This happened to be Bryant Park. I loved the vibe of Bryant Park. Unlike parks at home where everyone has come for their own purpose and has practically marked their territory from any strangers, this park was much more fluid. Everyone felt at ease with each other. There was yoga, a bingo game, a scavenger hunt, and people laying about just enjoying the weather all in the same space of the parking lot of some of the parks at home.



I was a little worried going into the trip. 


But I ended up feeling fine. I've never faced a challenge I couldn't get over and everything was great in the city. I'm very excited for the future, hopefully it ends up in New York, permanently or semipermanently.

{p.s} I am absolutely in love with a lot of the decor inside the hotel we're staying at, so here's a few pictures that I took.

weekend recap

April 11, 2016


This weekend was quite the mix of contradictory forces.  Honestly these two days couldn’t have been any more different. Saturday was a fireball of anxiety and anticipation, and Sunday was a cool drink of relief and lounging, a great refresher after my past few weeks. 

Saturday was an early start, 6 am early to be exact. After two months of a lot of studying it was finally time for the ACT’s and everything was going peachy keen until it was time to step outside.

Into the snow.

This obviously caused a whole slew of problems resulting in very high anxiety for me mainly centered around whether I would even get to take the test that I had studied two months straight for. But in the end everything worked out and I was merrily (ha) taking my test.

After the test my mom had a little getaway planned for our weekend which I took advantage of the calm atmosphere of the cute little town to get some nice pictures.

IMG_2029.JPGSunday was the opposite in that it was completely relaxed. I got to wear comfy clothes all day and relax on the drive home and knit.

All day!

The project is a little surprise for a friend, but i’m really excited to show the finished product     (although I think it will take a while)

"Over the past few months I have gotten the amazing opportunity to watch all my hobbies get picked off one by one until there was not one survivor of the 'end'.


Great.

getting away

August 08, 2015

As a nice end to a summer spent in rain my family found ourselves away from home relaxing in sunny Florida. Florida is sort of like an old friend to my family. The kind of friend you don’t have to always be doing things with, just hanging out is fine. And so, thats what we did. No wasting the heat in lines and crowded between people in amusment parks. Just what vacation is meant for. 

Relaxation.

This is our vacation in pictures I took along the way.

Watching live musicians at Downtown Disney.






Nights we spent searching Downtown Disney.




Our three day cruise upon the Norwegian Sky to the Bahamas. (Next blog post)

A cheery walk with my sister.












If you saw me you probably would have thought I had never seen an animal in my life the way I sprung up at every single one in sight.




Our last day we spent packing, swimming and exploring the last of the resort. This charming little gazebo is where Naaila, my sister, and I spent some time writing and accepting the finality of our trip.


Thank you for reading my recount of our travels, hope you enjoyed.


Mary
