Graduation

Lacey's Visit to NYC!

Me under a bridge in Central Park

Strawberry fields, it had no strawberries!!!! or Fields! just a tiny little path that ended in the the bridge from the last picture, and some benches. It was really pretty though.

This is the preserved tree trunk of the tree that fell by the church across the street from the twin towers. Then the towers came down. it knocked this tree down towards the church and a very tightly packed cometary. By a miracle the tree didn't do any damage to a single grave stone or the church itself. It fell in an odd unnatural way.

This is the site of the twin towers, you can already see the construction thats going on in the site.

This was a very randomly place display in the bottom level of the empire state building. Not anywhere near the tourist area. It was tucked behind a corner. We only saw it because we wondered off the normal area looking for the mail drop that is in there for the businesses.

Lacey with a statue of liberty foam hat in the empire state building gift store!

Hersey store on time square. It was just an empty plastic bottle but they looked really cool!

Me with the foam hat!

And heres me with the herseys bottle!

This is Lacey and I in front of the big main carousel in central park!

Me with the veiwer on top of the empire state building!

The three of us at the M&M store in times square! That is Lacey, me and her coworker Stephanie.

This was on one of the church benches in the church by the twin towers.

This is at the very end of the Strawberry Fields trail. It is a huge circle. People were standing around it placing flowers and also there were musicians playing music.

Lacey and Me in Cental Park!

Another display in the church.

The British dedicated this bell as a memorial to September 11th.

One of the bridges in Central Park. There all so cool!

A central Park Carriage!

So these are the best of my pictures, when I get copies from Lacey maybe I will have some more to add to this. We had a lot of fun. She was here for two days.

Its Towards the end! April!

So here are a bunch of pictures of what I've been doing the last couple of weeks! Sorry I havn't been keeping this as up to date as I should!

This is my freind Kristin, on one of those motorized kids toys in the mall.

The weather was amazing the last two weeks! Kinda bad now though! So I'm wearing my freinds Hat. We got a bunch of funky hats for the mock pageant for Mr. Mrs. CIA that My friend Nina was in!

This is Vinny pretending to eat the meat as we're grinding it. He's the class clown. Always around to make people laugh.

My friend Nina took 2nd place in the annual Oyster Shucking Contest! I think the big one in the middle is what did it, because she wasn't the second one done.

You can't read it very well, but we drove through Sleepy Hollow, it was really boring!

Heres one of my fellow RA's Pat feeding one of the resident groundhogs. It was really cute!

Nina during the shucking contest!

Heres my friend Ted who also competed in the shucking contest, He didn't place :(

Heres Nina's Wining presentation again!

One of the other RA's, Joe (Hes another Californian) Pretending to eat my enchilada cassarole I made for our check in day family meal.

I just thought this looked cool.

Nina and I basking in the sun, napping and reading our books!

So one of of the other RA's taught Nina how dragqueens put on makeup! Its scary how it looks!!!!

Nina and Kristin during our pick nick for Kristins birthday! it was sad that it wasn't sunny! We had to move the picknick inside!

Here are the RA's, well some of us, gathered for family meal in the dorm kitchen. Everyone really enjoyed the meal I made!

So thats it for now! 3 more weeks till I graduate, so I'll try to get some siteseeing in and put some pictures up!

Thanksgiving in New Hampshire

So for Thanksgiving I went home with my friend Spencer. He lives in Monroe New Hampshire.

We visited his Aunts B &B and she has Lamas as pets!!!!!

This is the four of us that went up there! Me, then Ali, then Spencer, and finally Danny (Hes another Californian. Actually did my internship over the summer with him!)

These are Spencer's Parents. And his Dads best friend.
They were really nice and just plain awesome!

So on the way there we ran out of gas on the interstate!!! We were going up a hill when it started to go, so we all jumped out while it was still moving to push it. We didn't get very far!We were s o close to top though!!!!! So this is Danny posing in front of the car! It was freezing out and snowing!!!

This is the Mount Washington Hotel. It the hotel t hat the movie the shining is based off of. We went up to it and walked around, its a really cool hotel!!!

In the summer this is a local swimming hole. I thought it looked way to dangerous to jump into, since its like a waterfall and its swirling around at the bottom and following right into another little waterfall. But Spens says it a lot of fun. Although he did admit they have lost a couple tourist to it!!! I thought this spot looked really gorgeous with the snow!!

Spencer, Danny, and me. I really don't know why I made that face! lol

Same spot!

Everything looked so pretty covered in snow! Northern New Hampshire is really
pretty in winter!

This is actually back at school before Thanksgiving, but i wanted to add it in. This is Micheal Simon the guy who won Americas Next Iron Chef. He was a graduate of my school so he came and gave a demo and question and answer session. We stayed for a little bit. Unfortunately they didn't start it till 9, and I am an am student now and had test the next day!!! :(

Spencer's Dad has these really cool old stoves installed in the house that he actually uses. I wish I had more pictures of the house. His dad spent 13yrs building this house by himself. He did it piece by piece as could aford it. Its a two bedroom log-house, and its huge!!!! This first stove he keeps going all the time int he kitchen to heat tea water, or keep food warm in there pot, and just to warm up by.

This one is in the living room and actually used to heat the house, along with the heaters. Its wood burning.

His family also own a little breakfast and lunch restaurant. Its called the Coffee Pot. It is the hot spot to stop at in town. It only seat 29 people. Everyone know that you eat and go, so everyone can get a chance. We ate breakfast there everyday. It was the best breakfasts I've had in a long time!!! This place was so cute too!!! The guy in the picture with Spencer and Danny is Spencer's Uncle Dan. Dan and his wife whos name I've blanked out on came up for thanksgiving too. they stayed at the others aunt B & B. they were really nice people. It was kinda funny the aunt was Spencers Moms sister and the two of them stayed at Spencer's Dad's B&B.

Thats the sign over the door. Its a really nicely done logo!

So we were there from Wednesday Night to Sunday afternoon, and we had a blast. It was a really nice and relaxing weekend. I'm really glad I got to go home with him, instead of staying at school!
