Cape Cod

Ian and I have been relaxing on the Cape since Wednesday. It has been so nice to be somewhere that is familiar. It's also nice to be somewhere with high powered AC! My parents and lindsay came down to see us. We walked around Chatham and went to the beach for the day. We did have a little rocky situation on the Jedi... But we worked through it and everyone was okay!!

It was so great to see my parents, Gram, and Lindsay. It made us realize how much we have missed them! 

We are driving back to Vt right now... I can not even begin to explain how excited I am to be back in the mountains!

NYC

We were only in new York for 24 hours but we had the best time! Ian and I actually surprised ourselves with how well  we maneuvered ourselves around the city. We took the subway on our own three times!! During the day we spent some time in central park and then the high line. We also saw the 9/11 memorial.

We met up with our good friends for dinner and then went out to some bars. They surprised us with some delicious engagement magnolias cupcakes. It felt so good to see them and to know we have such great friends! Thank you guys for everything!

Philly

It was so nice to see Hannah and Sam in Philly last night! We ate a delish cheesesteak, did a quick tour of some Philly things and hung out at a cool bar downtown! We had so much fun! On to NYC today...

Washington DC

We spent the morning in Washington DC. I don't think we realized when we planned this trip that we will be seeing three big cities in three days... DC, Philly, NYC. It's going to be a busy three days filled with lots of great friends!! I can not wait! 

This morning we saw a lot of the different monuments. Ian has never seen them so it was fun to look around with him! We also met my cousin Lauren who works for senator Leahy in the afternoon. She gave us a private tour of the capital building. We also got to check out One of Leahy's offices! We learned tons of stuff from the tour! 

On to Philly tonight to visit Hannah and Sam! I can't wait to see them!!

Charleston, South Carolina

We are on the home stretch now! Only a few more days and we will be lounging at the Cape! We spent last night visiting our friend Matt in Charleston. Even though we were only here for 24 hours... We still had a blast. We walked around downtown and ate dinner right on the water. The downtown is so pretty and historical looking. Then Matt took us on a cruise on his boat to a cool bar on the water! It was a lot of fun. We will be in D.C tonight!

Florida

After New Orleans we went down to Englewood, Florida to visit some of Ian's family. It was so nice to see them and meet some of his family I haven't met before! We went to the beach and hung out by the pool. The whole family went out for pizza and then played some card games after! It was great to be in one place for a few days. It was even better to be in a place with some family! 

On to Charleston today! 

New Orleans

We had so much fun in New Orleans! We got to the city last night and were happy to find out we got upgraded to a suite in our hotel. Our hotel is awesome... It is literally a block away from bourbon st. We spent last night on Bourbon st! We made some new friends, ate some delicious food, and drank way too many drinks in big cups! 

This morning we woke up (very tired) and went on a swamp tour in the bayou! It was so cool to see all of the alligators and houses right on the water. 

We went out to dinner at the Acme Oyster House for some traditional new Orleans food. I got jambalaya and Ian got a shrimp po boy! They were so good! We are staying in tonight because we have to get up early for an 11 hour drive to Florida! One night on Bourbon st is enough for us! We loved New Orleans with all of the cool bars, yummy food, and jazz music!
