A View of My World

This is a special post for my Grandma Ruth. Recently, she asked to see a few pictures of the places I spent a lot of time in New York.

Rain

One of my favorite things about New York is the rain. There are have been some crazy, unpredictable Summer Storms. I have always loved the rain. It is fun to live in a climate where it does rain occasionally.

California

Last week I had the opportunity to fly out to Southern California, for a family reunion. Fortunately, I got a surprise trip to the beach with my gorgeous little sister. Then we got in the car to head north, to the Seirra Nevada's. 

Once in the mountains we hiked into the Muir Trail Ranch for a week cut off from the world. It was so much fun to be cut off from the world with my extended family. Having no cell phones or distractions made for a lot of time to talk and reconnect with my family. The Sierra's are a very unique set of mountains consisting of a lot of rock, mostly granite. It was so fun to hike, camp, fish, and just chill in the mountains with my favorite people. I love the mountains and always will. The transition into the mountains was a little weird coming from the city that never sleeps, but it was totally worth it.

There is this awesome type of tree in the mountains that literally smells like vanilla and butterscotch. Naturally, everyone had to take a whiff.

Boston

 A few weeks ago I went to visit a friend, Ms. Erika Nash, in Boston, Massachusetts. I love Boston. I wasn't really into the tourist thing so we just got to hang out all weekend. It was so much fun! I can't believe all the things we fit into the weekend. We rode bikes all over Boston, ate great food, met new people, watched the world cup game, participated in ChowderFest, and got to explore what Boston has to offer.

Eight of Boston's popular restaurants participated in ChowderFest - I don't know if I recommend clam chowder for breakfast but it was a fun experience.
