Ah, the city of love... well, not so much when you travel there alone. Maybe just the city of: French Men think they are irresitible, therefore they can hit on every woman. But I made the best of it and had a lot of fun with my ONE day in Paris. I met some really nice people and tried some really great food. Here are some highlights from that day.
Musee Du Louvre
The Notre Dame
Proof that I was there!
Paris at night :)

Okay so I have tried to narrow down my Top 10 moments of this summer... so many to choose from. Feel free to comment on this blog and tell me about your top 10! Anyways, here they are:
10. Camping at Clearwater with the Matson family. It was such a relaxing time and I had fun playing cribbage, even if I had to LET Dwayne win!
9. Seeing the Eiffel Tower at night. Wishing Marissa was there to see it with me.
8. Seeing "the corner" from the Grand Prix in Monaco. (and having all the boys back home hating me for it!!!)
7. My dance program; meeting Catia & Gianluca and having great dinners & gelato with them. Dancing at Subway- good times!!!!
6. Going to the Guinness Store House- pouring my own pint and having the goodness in its homeland!
4. St.Andrew's in Scotland- the beautiful beach, the Old Course and watching Ryan play the Old Course.
3. NYC- going to Bobby Flay's restaurant and also hanging with my friend Alex who I met 5 years ago at my dance program in Italy. Unfortunately Alex and I didn't get a photo together.
2. McMahon's- for the Murphy's & the people: Laura, Simon, James, Rebecca, Aisling, Angela & especially Emily!!!

It doesn't matter how many places I see, nothing compares to the feeling of my gramma's camp. On Sunday at 10:30 at night, my aunt Edie and I spontaneously decided to go spend a night out at camp. This used to be a tradition on the Labour Day weekend with my sister Holly, our friend Hoa, Edie and myself. So Edie and I set out on yet, another adventure.
You wouldn't believe the stars that night that filled the sky as we swam in the chilling late August waters; not without a sauna first of course. We wanted to live life wildly & with abandonment, so we went skinny dipping- another tradition from those Labour Day weekend sleepovers! Being here made me miss Holly & Hoa and all the memories we made back in the day. The next morning, still seeking adventure Edie and I swam to the Island and then over to Auntie Eunice's camp. It took us about 40 minutes and we felt as though we had conquered the world... or at least Island Lake.
I love spending time at this camp because there is no electricity, it's very quiet and peaceful and it's where I spent most of my summers growing up. There is a feeling like no other as you sit on the end of the dock and look out to this tranquil place and reflect on your summer and what you hope for in the fall. I know it is one of the things I will miss the most when I move away.
Stay tuned for my TOP 10 picks of the summer and of course- PICTURES!
