I can't remember the last time I wrote a blog post and I have been meaning to! Summer really flew by this year, especially August. Sean and I actually took a two week vacation which was pure magic and I hope to repeat next summer. After a really wonderful and relaxing week in Michigan with our families, we flew back to New York and in search of a cheap/easy vacation, headed up to the Catskills for some hiking, kayaking, and doing absolutely nothing. Sean and I had both been busy in July, so we really needed that first week to get our heads out of the weeds of work/school, which made the second week all that much better.
At the end of August I headed to DC for a work trip to hang out with a bunch of political science nerds at the American Political Science Association Annual Meeting, and Sean joined me over Labor Day weekend. After some lovely weather during the week, the weekend was HOT but Sean and I forced ourselves to walk around the mall, visit the portrait gallery, and wave to the White House.
Now fall has started with a vengeance and I am really missing those Friday's off, but enjoying the cooler weather and obviously thrilled about the return of ALL THE FALL FOODS. Sean made some delicious pumpkin muffins last week and I forced us to roast an acorn squash. Despite Sean's protests that it is "too early," we are going all in this year.
So that's what we've been up to. I am recommitting myself to more consistent blogging! It's going to happen!
Over and out
