Julie’s Bachelorette Party Weekend

On Thursday night, to celebrate my 25th birthday, Tori made reservations at Cafe Sushi in Harvard Square, and invited Robin, Nina, Ashley, and Molly. It was delicious! Tori and I split an entire bottle of wine. The fun didn’t end there, though.  For dessert, they took me out to Finale Desserterie and Bakery, which was mm mm good! Divine is probably the correct word to use.

Then on Friday night, I was off to Foxwoods to hang out with your brother’s future wife.
I know how much you like leopard print (NOT). I took this girls’ night as an opportunity to wear my scandalous leopard dress:

20140720-164532-60332656.jpgYou did make up for it, though, by bringing yummy donuts for breakfast. And by giving me lots of presents for the annibirthday–now my touring bike is getting close to fully outfitted! You had better buy one soon so that you can catch up to me.

I sat in the swinging wooden love seat with my dad at the cottage and watched this cotton candy sunset.

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa at the farm on Monday night, and I got this great mother-daughter picture. They made me take about ten before they settled on this one.

Go 4th and Celebrate

Thanks for coming to the cottage with me! I really liked watching all of the fireworks with you. Too bad we forgot your Chinese lanterns!

I didn’t expect Tori and Sam to hit it off so well; here he is teaching her to sail:

Nice flip!

I shared my hair with Grace at the campfire. It was fun to see all of the Johansons at the Crispell reunion.

It was very entertaining to put on the wetsuits:

Turn Down for What?

Max thought he was being artsy taking pictures with his rad camera, but I was being even artsier, taking pictures of him taking pictures.

Best quote of the weekend, you to me on the ride home: “You think I’m being mean, but I’m just being honest.”

Even though Max and I planned everything, and even though I forgot charcoal despite making a list of what to bring, you and Liz were great participants this weekend at Lake George. Thanks for still being cheerful after getting rear-ended on the way home from PA on Friday, and for still making it to your house in time for us to get to Roger’s Rock Campground by 9:03pm.

I enjoyed our hike, even though we went beyond the top of Five Mile Mountain. I almost pooped my pants when that grouse attacked Liz, and she screamed. She thought it was an eagle, but my first thought was a bear! It’s also pretty cool that we saw a timbler rattler; I didn’t even know that there are rattlesnakes in the ‘dacks!

Overall, great weather and even greater friends.
