YOsemite

Busy last couple of weeks, a much needed out of city escape was planned to Yosemite. It's so refreshing to just go out and be in such a beautiful and majestic place of nature that hasn't (for all intensive purposes) changed in decades. Check out my Instagram shot below-

(Hint: Recognize this shot? It's the same view point that Ansel Adams uses in his "Yosemite Valley" photo. Yah, I was pretty taken back too Ansel.)

What you didn't know about Seinfeld

SURPRISE!

Best feeling ever- thanks to a last minute flight sale I was able to fly home this weekend to surprise my mom for mother's day :) Needless to say best gift ever?

Another perk was being able to surprise my friends while they rocked it out at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton! They are such amazing artists and I feel so proud when I see them perform knowing I used to watch them play in a basement of their parents house! Check them out online at www.thegallerymusic.com and def download their CD off iTunes. Here's an action shot from last night :)

If you know me, you know how much I adore craft brewed beer. One thing that's been on my to-do list for a while is brewing my own little concoction! So when I saw this little infographic, I was re-inspired.... who's thirsty?

United States of Shame

Well this map made me laugh a little. Worst Driver are Mass- we officially have the title. Cali is air pollution, not ground breaking. I really feel bad for the "Ugliest Residents" of North Dakota though, tough break!

Sunday Funday!

PATRIOTS are playing the obnoxiously over talkative Jets this weekend. Hopefully this match up will be more exciting than the last outgoing (cough, 45-3). If the Jets are going to talk that much smack then they need to actually come to play, it's not fair for Varsity to play JV.

One thing I look forward to most? Foam feet in Gilette for Rex Ryan haha c'mon New England :)
