It was quite the eventful holiday weekend! I got up bright and early on Saturday morning and drove down to Branford, CT to see Molly, Andrew and Liz!! Liz had flown into CT for the long weekend, and we had a BLAST catching up on old times. It actually felt like we were still in high school...or maybe even middle school?? The only thing missing was Sara, so we promised that next year there are no excuses. The 4 of us will all be together again!!
Molly and Andrew took us on a tour of beautiful Branford (which sits right on the ocean) and then we went into New Haven for the afternoon and walked around the Yale campus, had some ice cream, and did a little shopping. Then that night Andrew cooked us a fabulous dinner, Liz made us some delicious drinks, and we had an amazing night.
Here's a picture of the 3 of us girls in New Haven:
Unfortunately, Seli couldn't come down to CT with me because stupid work called him into the office ALL WEEKEND. It was a pretty big bummer for him - it was a beautiful weekend and he wanted nothing more then to get away for a couple days. Therefore, on Sunday when I got home we put some steaks on the grill and sat out on the deck to enjoy the cool air. On Monday, we ventured up to Ipswich, MA - which is on the North Shore - for a little hiking at the Ipswich Wildlife Refuge. We didn't see much wildlife except for a few turtles, but it was still a beautiful hike.
Then after the hike, we decided to head over to Cranes Beach in Ipswich and take a nap out on the beach. It was a little cold for bathingsuits (I had on a sweatshirt), but it was still a perfect day on the ocean.
