RAINFOREST RELAXATION - COSTA RICA, PART 3
COSTA RICA, I'M IN LOVE (PART 1)
If you've never been to Costa Rica, you should go. Add it to your bucket list. It is a ridiculously gorgeous place. And if you do go, make sure you spend some time in the Rio Celeste area. Because, you see, this river.... this river is THAT blue. That bright turquoise blue is real life, not photoshop. And it is completely mesmerizing. So Boo and I spent our 4 days of vacation staring at this water and pretending we were in some far away fairytale land. And I already wanna go back and do it all over again.

ICE QUEEN
Doesn't it look like I'm sitting in front of some fake background? I swear you guys, this was real life. But being there in person was, in fact, UNREAL. So ridiculously beautiful. And a total Elsa moment.
I've been wanting to visit one of the Ice Castles locations since we missed our chance last year. So I made sure we didn't miss it this year, and we drove the couple hours up to New Hampshire on a random Wednesday evening. You know what? Other than the crazy crowds of people, it was every bit as magical as I expected. Seriously magical. We stuck around until after dark to see it all lit up, too. And as cool as it was, I much preferred it in the daylight. I mean, just look at those photos!
P.S - If you are ever in Lincoln, NH, stop at Gypsy Cafe and get the grilled cheese fondue. You won't regret it.

SNAPSHOTS : CAMPING // ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, ME
Boo and I spent a few days this past weekend up in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, ME. We hiked, did some night kayaking in bioluminescent water, and even got a night of camping in! We actually picked the perfect weekend for it. Perfectly clear sky for star gazing, and a fall chill in the air at night (but not too cold).
I'll share some more photos from the rest of the weekend soon!
SNAPSHOTS : GEORGE'S ISLAND
Happy September, friends! I hope your long weekend was filled with sunshine and good sales.
While it mat be the 'unofficial' end of summer, I'm not ready to give up on it yet! We still have plenty of warm and sunny days left, and I plan on taking full advantage of them. Something Boo and I have never done, in the 4 years we've lived in Boston, is take the ferry out to any of the Boston Harbor Islands. So this weekend, we did just that! We explored George's island, which is home to civil war-era Fort Warren.
Prepare yourself for photo overload...

SNAPSHOTS: PROVIDENCE, RI
It’s easy to forget sometimes that Providence is just an hours drive away from Boston. It’s so close! And we’d never been. So we decided to take a mini weekend getaway for the 4th/our anniversary. It was SUCH a good weekend, you guys. We did so much. I’m just gonna leave it here in bullet points. If you are ever in Providence, I would recommend every single one of these things! So, we:
» explored Brown University in the rain. What a pretty campus!
» got up close in personal with the State House.
» visited the RISD art museum and got lost for a couple of hours.
» satisfied our food truck love with Radish for lunch (delicious), and Haven Brothers for late night milkshakes.
» sat along the Providence river, soaking in the sunshine and the city view.
» stumbled upon the cutest cafe, Cable Car, that has a little theater in the back with love-seat couches for seats. We watched A Hard Day’s Night!
» grabbed some to-go pizza’s from Pizza Pi-er, layed a blanket out in the park, and listened to a free concert put on by the Providence Philharmonic Orchestra. And then finished it off with some fireworks, of course!
» visited the Roger Williams Park and the Roger Williams Park Zoo. You guys, we fed giraffes! My life is now complete.
SNAPSHOTS : NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND
For Memorial Day this past Monday, Boo and I headed to Rhode Island for a fun little adventure day. We started out kayaking in Kingston, and then headed to Newport where we walked along the cliffs edge and explored the town (which obviously included ice cream cones and boat watching). I really loved Newport and all of it’s charm, and hope we can explore it more in depth soon! We’re also thinking about visiting Providence sometime this summer too. Any suggestions?
