On Saturday I started my Atlantic Odyssey - my journey along the east coast. I flew to Boston on Saturday afternoon, where I met EA, EK, and KA at the airport. We drove to the Cape, EA has a house there, and stayed there until Sunday night. The Cape was so pretty! It's pretty different from other beaches I've been too, it just was so clean. EK took about 400 pictures over the weekend with her fancy camera. On Monday we went into Boston for the day. We walked along Newbury St and went shopping. I didn't remember Boston at all from the last time I was there. It was so colonial looking, pretty cool.
Monday night EK, KA and I left and drove to EK's house to drop her off and get KA's car. Then we went to KA's house in Staten Island. Staten Island is the weirdest place I've ever been, it seemed like another country or something. That night we drove down the street to a bagel place (there were 500 bagel places there, no wonder KA loves bagels) and there were all these guys just hanging out in a parking lot listening to music and motorcycles everywhere. We went into the shop and the accents basically smacked me in the face, it was insane. I'm glad we got bagels though :)
KA's family is hilarious and her mom has the greatest accent ever. I'm getting so good at imitating it.
Tuesday we went into the city yayyy. We took a bus from Staten Island and through Brooklyn. We got off near Rockefeller Center and basically just wandered around until we found the four story Forever 21 in Times Square. Of course, we were both in love. Anyway, after that we got some pizza and went to Kleinfelds to watch KA's aunt try on wedding dresses because she's getting married in April. The store was gorgeous and I fell in love with at $23,500 wedding dress. I also got to meet all of KA's female relatives. That took a while, and then we met my friend MM in the city after she was done with work. We all went to dinner with KA's family (mom, dad, brother, and sister) and it was sooo good. After, MM went home to Connecticut and KA and I stopped by her sister's apartment on 1st ave.
I can't wait to live in my own apartment. I'm sure I'll be really annoyed with all of the responsibilities that come along with living without your parents, but I'm still looking forward to it. Also, I would really love to live in DC or NYC. I've been in love with DC since I was younger and went to visit my aunt every Easter, and I've been in love with NYC since I went there for the newspaper conference in February. I really want to go to law/grad school in one of those two cities.
Today KA, her mom and I drove to Long Beach Island. We stopped on the way to go shopping and got here around 5pm. Our friend CE is here to visit too! We all took a walk on the beach, ate dinner and went out for ice cream. We went to an ice cream place called Show Place where they make different people sing or dance, or something like that. I was the one from our table that got picked and my great singing voice had to entertain the crowd. The crowd loves me though, obviously.
My friends and I have been talking about some good movies that are coming out soon: Charlie St. Cloud, Eat Pray Love, Going the Distance, and Easy A. I just saw Salt last week and it was soooo good. Also, I'm in love with Zac Efron, he's too cute, so I definitely want to see Charlie St. Cloud. Easy A looks hilarious, I love the Scarlet Letter reference, that's a great book.
Beach tomorrow! Hope for sunny weather!
