When I was in 7th grade my parents took us to Martha’s Vineyard for summer vacation. I’d post pictures, but I was going through a really unfortunate Sun-In stage at the time. Martha’s Vineyard is legit. If you haven’t ever been, plan on doing so. It’s got the classiness of Cape Cod, with some of the
In my last post, I shared my impending 90’s megatour in Bethel, New York. I’m taking a school bus from my hometown up for the night with a group of friends, which is fun because we won’t have to spend money on lodging, no DUI’s, and drinking on a school bus is more fun then
Have you heard of the Summerland Tour yet? I’d been vaguely aware of it’s existence for some time; essentially it’s a group of quintessential 90’s musicians going on tour together. I remember someone telling me about excitedly, how it would basically be the soundtrack to my 5th and 6th grade years, but that tickets cost upwards of $80.00.
I spent this 90 degree Memorial Day at Marsh Creek Paddle Boarding; it’s becoming my new addiction. We paddled for three hours, at least one full one being spent lounging in the middle of the lake. My friend’s girlfriend informed us that “paddle boarding yoga” is now a thing. We attempted a few yoga poses (none
Last week I paid for the majority of my Ireland trip. It left a pretty devastating hole in my bank account I’ve been trying not to look at. I decided I should probably put in my head that my four day Memorial Day weekend would have to be cheap; I even considered using it as a work weekend.
I was talking with a friend last night about Preakness and she remarked that she didn’t think “regular” people (like me) were able to go. She pictured a classy affair with big hats, navy sportcoats, boat shoes, and fancy drinks garnished with slices of fruit. I had to explain that while this part of the
Memorial Day Weekend is the traditional summer kickoff. Due to all the money I’m already set to spend this summer (thanks, Ireland), I decided to have a low key four days. I did a day trip to Gettysburg yesterday (which will be my next post), and am going to Marsh Creek for a few hours
Last week, one of the yahoo stories of the day (those fluff pieces that scroll across the screen on the homepage) was entitled “10 Great All-American Roadtrips”. I’m a big fan of roadtrips, but am consitently dissapointed that on the majority of these lists, most of the roadtrips take place either out west or down
Why Country? I publically hated country music for years. It mainly had to do with high school insecurities, the kind where you have a carefully constructed image of yourself you want to project. See, while I grew up in a developement, my school district was extremely rural and had a reputation as a “hick” school.
Since it’s May, 17 and a full ten months to the most glorious holiday of the year, I’m giving you a little Drop Kick Murphy’s to celebrate with. In very corresponding news, I’m finally going to Ireland this summer! I’m leaving Newark for Dublin on July 24th, and flying back from Belfast on August 6th.
