In case you were wondering where I've been

After graduation, I went to Connecticut for a week to visit with family. The highlight of my visit was a family graduation party that turned into a massive food fight. My aunts decided to pour water on my grampy while he was sleeping. Grampy then retaliated with some water balloons that I lovingly made for him. More water was thrown, but somehow it got a little out of hand and my uncle Mark was covered in cake and my cousin Wade wore a combination of iced tea and coke.



After a week or so in Connecticut, I was getting a little bored so I took a ride up to New Hampshire to visit Tina for a while. We went to see "What Happens in Vegas", which was a really good movie, but definitely a chick flick. The highlight of this visit was hiking to the top of Mount Monadnock. Our friend Dan Shea went hiking there earlier in the week and since it was close we decided that we wanted to tackle the mountain too. We didn't know that the hiking we would be doing didn't involve following a well beaten path, but mostly consisting of rock climbing. The picture above shows just how rocky the climb was. However, it was a great work out and the view from the top was amazing. I spent a few more days in New Hampshire attending barbecues and parties and we had a good time.



Leaving New Hampshire wasn't fun because I had to travel all the way to New Jersey to my Dad's to pack for the new apartment. I drove through New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey all in the same day. Matt and I move into the new apartment in exactly a week, so I'm getting very excited and I have a lot of packing to do, so that should keep me busy. This weekend Dad and Debbie want to go to Philadelphia to see the Liberty Bell, go to the zoo and eat cheese steaks. Those all sound like fun and Philadelphia is only about an hour and a half away.
