after some consideration this weekend, i’ve decided to switch to blogger.

please find me here!

currently considering…

…switching to blogger.

i’ve heard it’s easier to use and since i’m not {even a little tech savy}…it may be the way to go.

any suggestions?

give up

today is one of those i want to give up days.

i’ve had a migraine for the past three days…yeah three days! i’m beyond ready for it to go away and it’s really cutting into my homework output. i have so many things due this coming week…

i’d much rather be going to this and watching Hocus Pocus.

And of course eating tons of Halloween candy. Or even better, at home trick-or-treating with my little cousins.

On the plus side I’ve had tons of sleep the last few days.

Tomorrow will be better. Surely the headache will subside, I have Hocus Pocus on Netflix, and maybe the walking tour will be held tomorrow again as well.

I hope you’re all having lovely (read: low stress, fun & maybe just a little scary) halloween!

<image cred>

braved the rain and cold to play tour guide. we walked and walked and walked to–

Georgetown

the Capital

the several of the Smithsonian museums including:

the American History

the Natural History

and the Air & Space

…and finished up with drinks in Arlington

unfortunately I have no photos to show for it

{new goal: take more photos}

however i do have some serious blisters.

also, watched Indian Jones for the first time ever

[oh Harrison Ford you make one dreamy archeology professor]

and learned the joy of dry shampoo

this week i can’t get enough:

of these pretty cottages

<all images via here>

aren’t they beautiful?

some day I hope to have a little cottage in the country [i’ll have to keep my apartment in the city of course] where we can go apple picking in the fall and swimming in the summer.

what are you up to?

road trip!

this summer my dear Aunt helped me move up to DC. we had so much fun along the way & once we got to DC we had had a little sightseeing adventure too!

<since my hard drive died, I’m just now getting around to putting these up!>

biscuits and gravy!

we ate lots of Southern food along the way

dollywood!

we had an extended adventure in Tennessee. we even made it to Dollywood for a few hours!

see Suz is excited too!

beautiful candied apples

we stopped at Gatlinburg and found some really delish food

FUNNEL CAKE!

our fave.

TN is pretty.

and outdoor-sy

Suz’s house when she lived in TN

this house is pretty awesome. it’s right against a mountain!

i spy..a little fawn!

can you see her?

roar!

nice kitty

best gas station of the whole trip. hands down.

we made it to DC, now we have to go down down down to the metro

the Rosslyn metro stop has the 3rd longest escalator ever!

Commerce Department building

first stop, Smithsonian!

Julia Child’s kitchen!

and Dorothy’s shoes

the Washington Monument

sometimes we like to play tourist

so we like to do it alot

bf told us all about the air & space museum

we stopped by the President’s house

we saw Lincoln too

bf and I hanging with Abe

last monument on our must see list

we had a pretty awesome time. i’m ready for another road trip already!

my dream come true

a real life musical.

when I was younger I–along with BFFs chels & michelle, would watch this musical over and over and over (to this day it’s one of my most fave movies)…

it really solidified our love of the genre, which is exactly why i adore this Improve Everywhere:
