Me and my friend SJ went to San Francisco, Ca for a long weekend this past weekend. We stayed in Fisherman's Wharf, saw the golden gate bridge, alcatraz, rode cable cars, went to union square, chinatown, Napa Valley and Sonoma, golden gate park, lombard street. We had a blast! It didn't rain one drop. We met amazing people in the hostel we stayed at and just had a great vacation!

The Glory of a Small Town

Yesterday was the end of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival. They have a slide show and then a fireworks show that they set off on the frozen lake. It was so fantastic. The main street was closed and lots of people went over to the castle. It was sooooo cold! It was probably around 5 degrees but so windy that it felt about 15 below. But needless to say it was still so much fun and just made me realize how much I love living in a small town. Now I am off to San Francisco on Thursday so I will have lots of pictures to share next week! Check out the pictures below from the carnival!

Winter Carnival Time!

Well the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival has begun. I have learned the fantastic pluses of moving to a small town. Every year they have a royal court where they have a court of eight couples from the local high school, a prince and princess from the local colleges and then a king and queen are announced on coronation night that I attended last night. It was amazing. If anyone has ever seen the show Gilmore Girls, it is very much like that. So fun. Check out http://www.saranaclakewintercarnival.com/ for other events that happen during this wonderful week of events. Next week I will put pictures of the ice castle.

Here are some pictures of my time in Florida and hanging out at game night with my friends here. San Francisco in less than 2 weeks!

This is me at Islands of Adventure. This sums up my time there!
