Labor Day Weekend in Seattle


I posted my pictures from Labor Day weekend. I spent it with my brother who recently moved with his family to work at Microsoft in Redmond. I have been missing my little nieces and this visit made for one wonderful trip. I also snuck away to go to Pike's Market with my Dad and to Bumpershoot where I saw Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse.

Losing It Over Softball. We lost 2-19

You know that cutie that you can't help approaching after seeing them at your favorite cafe sitting next to you, or in line at the grocery store, biking through your neighborhood -- that's my relationship with softball. I'd seen and heard about people playing before, and it definitely sounded fun, my buddies had partaken and raved about being on a softball team so I was intrigued but somehow didn't join until this year. Bash. And I am so glad I did!

We played short games then partied at the best dive bar in Boston. It was ideal for our big group as we had ample space to play darts, watch the Red Sox games. I was really impressed with how fun hanging out with employees can be. Not to mention my coach is simply awesome.

All in all, it was a fantastic way to spend Tuesday nights mingling with friendly spirited people and engaging in some kinesthetic activity.

Tonight is our Championship Game.

The Upper Peninsula


I write this to honor the weekend I froze my ass off in Upper Peninsula with my two friends Laura and Colleen. The Upper Peninsula, or tenderly referred to by locals as the UP is full of natural wonders from sandstone rock formations to large waterfalls that you can hike to in a day. We hiked bouncing from one gorgeous site to the next, fresh air, and discovered Midwestern beauty.

These gals make all sorts of fun and silliness even on a cold weekend that felt like Boston in November. Colleen sang sentences as if they were Broadway show tunes while posing for pictures. Laura and I talked and talked about food. Most of the time my head is so fascinated by what's going on with these two, I don't even notice my surroundings.

Because of the bad weather our plans to camp out turned into getting a cabin. The cabin was adorable - I mean everything: tiny beds, mini chimney, moose and bear curtains and so comfortably. We loved our little cabin.

Camping at Picture Rock National Lakeshore

I'm going camping this weekend in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
My friends Laura and Colleen found a place called Pictured Rock right along Lake Superior.
