the world of allie

it has been quite a while since i've last written.

this past memorial day weekend, i decided to take an little road trip around new england.

my frist stop was at my best friend alecia's house. she turned 21 the tuesday before so we went into boston to celebrate. it was my frist time in beantown... it was very clean and very proper i thought. considering we only spent a couple hours in the city, i didn't get to see everything but i did love the shopping. we did gucci, dior, coach, luis vuitton, tiffany's, etc... but if only i had the money. to add to our day of decatence, we went to the museum of fine arts to see the car show... http://www.mfa.org/exhibitions/cars/default.html... and the paintings. some of the cars were very cute i might say, but since i'm not much of a car person, i wasn't as in awe as most were. it was nice to see some pieces of art though... monet, van gogh, renroir, o'keefe. it was lovely.

after getting alecia very tipsy at a resturant we drove back home to chill for the next day and a half. bbq-ing and ice cream eating (the ice cream big dig is quite good with jimmies on top).

monday morning i hopped in my car and drove down to providence, rhode island. i have to say one thing about rhode island.. for being such a small state, their road system sucks major ass. that is the only state i got lost 3 times in........... my old college roomate dana and i spent the day in the park with her bros and cousin eating tons of food and playing frisbee. after being stuffed we drove down to newport. now newport... wow... there are some impressive mansions there. http://tickets.newportmansions.org/
we saw the breakers... check for yourself.
since i grew up on the jersey shore, and since i haven't been back since '99, it was really nice to smell and see the ocean again. it was just so relaxing. we walked around town, saw some of the sites and shopped a little. i wanted to get real new england clam chowder, so dana suggested a place near her house to go eat. when we got there though, they were completely out of clams, chowder and all the other good sea food. i had to settle for some decent fish and chips. i didn't get back on the road till 930.. and then got lost somehweres in rhode island. luckily i was on a road going north, so i just decided to keep driving (figured i would hit new hampshire or vermont sometime). after a paniced call to my parents for them to check a map, i came across the mass pike and i knew the rest of the way home.

good weekend.. :-)
