Good whirlwind, not bad whirlwind, for sure, but nonetheless, it went by FAST. At the top of the month I was cramming to finish school projects and here I am doing the same thing again for summer school. At least my summer class is over in 2 weeks. Woohoo! May weekends were full, too. We started off by hitting up the Statue of Liberty, or The Lady as she’s come to be known around our house. (e.g., Today Show pans to a shot of the statue, me: “Look! The Lady’s on TV!”)

On that outing, we also hit Ellis Island, where I did my best impression of a person with diphtheria. I’m so good at cheesy poses.

The next weekend we went to Washington, DC to visit my best friend, and bridesmaid, Erin. She and her boyfriend gave us a crash-course walking tour that was just awesome. Here’s my fancy Instagram take of the Capitol Building.

The following weekend was a camping trip/mountain biking extravaganza out in Raystown, PA. Here is Mike and Oats at the lake:

And the view from our campsite:

We woke up to a flat tire on the first day, and because we had no tools, we had to take it to the nearest place to get it fixed which, luckily, was Walmart. Because if it was somewhere else, I may not have had the opportunity to fly my crazy-dog-lady-freak-flag like so (Yes, he was wheeled around the lot in that. He loved it. I loved it. The people of Raystown loved it. Don’t judge.):

And finally, Memorial Day Weekend was Mike’s 30th Birthday!! We had a fabulous weekend of good weather and good family on the pond on Cape Cod. We even swam. In May. In New England! Can’t ask for more than that!

Already June is shaping up to be a doozie, I spent Saturday in NYC with my brother who is up North for the week. I did get to work on my desk a little, and the first coat of paint is on! Updates Wednesday
