Hi everybody! Hope the New Year has been lovely so far. I've decided to start my own blog for kicks and giggles. Hopefully I can be as entertaining a writer as Hanna on her blog! So if you are ever bored and want something to read, here it is:

QU!

Greetings everyone! I just moved into college at Quinnipiac University last week; it's about half an hour south of Hartford in Connecticut. I'm currently a media studies major (shout-out to Abby), but that's subject to change if something else strikes my fancy. Just thought I'd upload a few photos.


This is my dorm on move-in day.. it looks a little more cleaned up now, but that's the general idea.


We're in a veeeery scenic spot. Here's the entrance to our library with Sleeping Giant Mountain behind it. I'm sure it'll be stunning when the leaves start changing in a few weeks.


Here's a few of my hallmates and myself inside the castle on top of Sleeping Giant Mountain. It's only a 45-minute hike; I have a feeling I'll be making the trip a lot. My roommate is on the far right. She's only five feet tall!


This is the view from the top of the mountain of New Haven, CT, about 10 minutes south of campus. That strip way out in the water is Long Island.

And here's the video. I'm about the fifth girl to walk by.

Happy fall to you all!

Tallo visit

We had Kathy & Chris and Emily for a short visit - everyone should look at pictures here:

We visited two beaches and took Emily up to her chess tournaments in Irvine - where she did quite well. Here's some photos of the first tournament she entered, from which she emerged victorious!

There are two empty bedrooms in our house at the moment. Who will be next to visit us? You are hereby invited.

Adventures in Acadia Nat'l Park

Greetings Rowaders!
Hopefully Mom won't be sad that I stole her thunder, but I'm beating her to the blogging chase! Here are a few photos from our excursion to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine, this week. Without softball I was getting a little stir-crazy, and Mom is on summer break until the end of July, so we snuck away for a few days to hike, bike, kayak, camp, and do other Girl Scouty/woodsy things.


^Two of my friends and myself atop Cadillac Mountain, the first point in America that sees the sunrise. We weren't motivated enough to get up at 4am to see it, though.


^Kayaking on one of the many lakes in the park.


^A pretty sunset in downtown Bar Harbor.


^Unfortunately Mom was taking most of these pictures, so we only have a couple of her from the trip... including this one of her trying to capture a teeny dragonfly on camera. It actually came out quite nicely!

There was a ridiculous heat wave in Rhode Island the day after 4th of July (breaking heat records from 1991 - I missed the hottest day of my life!), but we were lounging in sunny, 75-degree Maine. We were pretty pleased to have escaped the whole thing. Poor Dad and Brett were golfing/caddying in a state tournament.. but they made it out alive.

Hope to hear from you all soon! :)
