New Blog

For one of my classes this semester I had to start a blog on any subject of my choice. I decided to do a health/exercise blog because that is my major so why not! It's pretty basic and right now nothing spectacular by any means. But check it out if you want www.exerciseforbeginners23.blogspot.com Hopefully as time passes I will have more info. for all groups and not just beginners.

Summer updates this weekend...get excited, I mean, it is my once a year picture post! HA!

Reminder

Check out this video. It was such a good reminder of so many good things, really, it's beautiful. I'm excited that conference is in just a couple of weeks. It always comes at just the right time. Happy Saturday!

-Cheers

ps summer updates to come...soon.

Boston

Boston.

The ferry we took to see the USS Constitution. (part of the freedom trail, basically a history line that takes you through to city ending at Boston Harbor)

MIT, the reason we went to Boston. We took a tour of MIT to give Clint an idea of as far as grad. school goes. Super cool, campus runs right along the Charles River.

Stata building on MIT campus. They call this the Dr. Seuss building, it's huge.

The dome building on MIT campus. This is where most of the 'hacks' are done. (hacking=pranks, MIT started 'hacking' before it ever became a computer term) One of the best hacks was a group of MIT students took an MIT police car apart, somehow got it on top of this dome and then rebuilt it...all in one night. If you watch any news, the Hubble telescope has been a big deal lately with it's last launch and everything. A week and a half ago students built a replica of the Hubble and put it on top of the dome. Other years it has been covered in black with cut outs of eyes and a mouth. Kinda cool, even cooler that the school encourages students to do hacks. ( as long as it doesn't hurt property or people)

Mt. Aubourn Cemetery-Cambridge

Mt. Aubourn Cemetery, a.k.a the most beautiful place I have ever been. This place was so gorgeous! I could have walked through here and taken pictures all day long. The pictures don't quite do it justice, but you get the idea. It was incredibly green and there were so many different trees, flowers, bushes, grasses etc. The first pic. is of us in front of a really old church really close to the cemetery entrance.

Sailing the Charles River

Sailing the Charles. We stayed with our good friends Christopher and Megan while we were in Boston. Christopher is going to MIT and majoring in economics. MIT has their own sailing pavilion and it's all covered by student fees...awesome!?! I had never been sailing before and I would love to do more of it in the future. Clint and I are big water skiers, so in the past we have been all about the glassy, windless water. Now, I'm totally ok with wind or no wind...both are equally amazing. Recommendation: don't sail in a skirt.

Red Sox

First major league game and we can't wait to go back. Neither Clint nor I have ever been big baseball fans but I think this one game has changed us. The energy, people, the field and players made the atmosphere so fun. Another bonus...my fenway frank was free. We were sitting in the middle of a row, boys are walking up and down the stadium isles the whole game selling franks, popcorn, drinks, anything you could want at a baseball game. I stopped a kid and wanted a hot dog, they were like 4 bucks each. So I passed him a 5 dollar bill and he passed me my dog. My change wasn't coming back and I really didn't care, it was only a dollar. Then randomly I get handed 5 gold coins...my five dollars came back in a new form. Everyone just looked at me and said...we have no idea what happened, but he said that this was your change. By the time I got the change he was long gone and I was chowing down...holla! So I bought myself a lemondade slush...delish. So, GO Red Sox!!! I will be cheering you on from here on out.

Cape Cod & the Lobster Pot

We took a day trip to the Cape, it wasn't the warmest day but it was gorgeous and still so fun. There is just something about being on the beach and hearing the waves crash into the sand.... That night we ate dinner in Province Town (Ptown...craziest town I have ever been to, but that is a story for another time) at the Lobster Pot. We ate on the second floor right by windows that over looked that harbor, loved it! I had crab legs and Clint got Lobster and both were killer.
