Tuesday Travels

This past Tuesday was my most extreme Tuesday Travels yet!  I hopped on a plane and flew down to the dirty south.  For the next two weeks I'm staying in Birmingham, Alabama.  Before I left for my trip, the one question that I was asked by literally everyone was, "What the heck are you going to do in Alabama?"  Well, I'm here visiting my best friend in the entire world, Julia!  We go waaay back to our days on the playground. 

After a rough day of traveling between three states and two different time zones, I was greeted with the warmest welcome in good ol' Bham!  It was almost surreal seeing my best friend after almost three years apart, but being here now has made me the happiest I've been in a while.

It's been two days so far and I'm already having the best time. Oh! And I made a new little friend  Dasha, who is the cutest little booger you could ever meet.

The trip has been so lovely already, and I can't wait to experience more of what Birmingham has to offer!  More later :)

Roadtrip: Hamptons!

This past Thursday, my good friends Priscilla, Samantha and I got to go away on a mini vacation.  We roadtripped out to the Hamptons to celebrate Sam's birthday!  It was the perfect little getaway weekend that we all definitely needed.  On Friday we spent the day at the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium where we got to watch the cutest performance by Bunker the Sea Lion, hold some starfish, and get a beautiful view of the whole park while riding the sky weel.

The rest of the weekend was a bit more relaxed, which I couldn't have enjoyed more if I tried.  All day we lounged by the pool listening to the ultimate 90's playlist and eating popsicles, and as the sun went down we settled in to cook ourselves dinner and watch some classic movies that we all love.  On our last day we took a trip into town and walked around the quaint little shops that line Main Street.  And of course we squeezed in some more time in the sun before it was time for us to head back home.  I really had such a fun time!  It was a complete girls weekend, something I'll never get too old for.  We definitely made lots of good memories and enjoyed each other's company.  Unfortunately the only pictures we took were at the aquarium, but it's okay because some of them are really funny!  Check them out :)

Woeful Monday

If only this were true!  Coming off of Spring Break is rough.  After a full week of hanging around it really is the worst to get back into a schedule of waking up to an alarm for school.  I just keep reminding myself that there's only six more weeks until summer vacation :)  Happy Monday!
