Connecticut

Not the best picture, but so cool to see!

I'm back on the island now for our last 6 weeks, I can't believe we're almost done here. I had a nice vacation back to CT for a few weeks. Owen was busy with a lot of exams, so I figured I'd get out of the way (after making him tons of food and cleaning everything, he was all set) and visit family and friends. I got to spend time catching up with a lot of friends I haven't seen in a year (or more in some cases). Here are some highlights from my trip....

• Time with family
• Lots of time with Michelle & Evan
• Finally saw a bear (everywhere in CT now)
• Caught up with Boux and Whit
• Got some time in at the lake
• Fireworks at the lake for 4th of July
• Jared's Graduation
• beach day in Rhode Island with my dad
• Finally met Olivia! (and of course saw Robin, Colin, & Connor)
• Awesome spa pedicure day with my mom
• lots of Starbucks and Chipotle of course
• Trip to the Boston area- great visits with Lauren & Alison (thanks!)
• Owen passed his last class at AUC! now just lots of reviews and exams until the end

Overall it was a great trip, I loved seeing everyone. My apologies to those I wasn't able to see this trip. We'll be back at the end of August and will stay in CT (mostly) until January, so there's plenty of time to see everyone!

Not a bad place to get some work done
