I am coming home tomorrow. I fly on a non-stop flight from JFK to San Diego and I get in at 5:55pm. I can't wait to see everyone and actually start my summer. Unfortunately I will only be home for about 2 weeks and then I move back up to San Rafael into my new apartment with my roommate Megan on August 1st.
My senior year (I can't believe it went by so fast) doesn't start until August 25th, but we couldn't pass this place up and they said the latest we could move in was the 1st. So I will be there for about 3 weeks with no school if anyone wants to come visit!! I will just start working for my families up there early. I am sure they miss me very much, all summer with no sitter!
I am going to try and see anyone and everyone in the 2 weeks that I am home so I can't wait. I will try to keep this blog going for future events and updates on my life. I love you all and hope to see everyone soon!!! Can't wait to be back in beautiful CALI. There is no place like home!!!

Connecticut
This past weekend I took the train about 3 hours north to visit my Dad's best friend, Bobby McGinnis, who still lives in Connecticut. I have never been to the east coast, which means I had never seen where my Dad grew up. Bobby gave me the tour of their old neighborhood and all the places they used to like to go. I had so much fun and now I know where all the places are that I've always heard about!
The house my Dad grew up in, 36 School Street, East Hartford, Connecticut
My Dad's house again
Bobby McGinnis' (his best friend) house right next door, 30 School St
This used to be the elementary school, right across the street from his house, now it is the Department of Safety building.
This is where they went to middle school, they were the first class when it opened up!
This is where my Dad grew up, everything was on these two streets!
This used to be the Fire Station, still has the original clock tower, but it is unoccupied now.
The Library right next to his house, its still the library!
This place used to be called Jolly's, it was a favorite bar of my Grandpa Joe's.
And this place used to be called Wishy's, my Grandpas other hang out!
East Hartford Golf Course where my Dad learned to play golf!
My Dads high school, which is now the middle school.
A waterfall that is part of a river they used to play in.
Black raspberry sundae at Friendly's!!
Connecticut River, we watched the fireworks here. They set them off of huge boats in the middle of the river!!
