New York

A couple weeks ago I went to New York to see Layla! I love that city and Layla and I always have so much fun! We went shopping, out to eat and to South Pacific on Broadway! I got a really cute Coach purse which a absolutely love! We ate at Lombardi's, which is one of my favorite pizza place's, the shake shack, which is a very popular burger place where I have my first burger in years, a street vendor that had pitas and we went to an amazing cupcake place! South Pacific was a lot of fun to see! I love the song "Wash that man right out of my hair"! Broadway is always an experience, and to make it better we got student tickets that were only $20! Here are some pics!

Shake Shack... I only ate half a burger, I didn't know if my body could handle a whole one :)

Magnolia's.... Best cupcakes I've ever had!

The location of this theater was so pretty! New york has so much personality I love it!

Boston

A couple weeks ago I got to go to Boston to visit my sister and family! It was so good to see them! Boston was also a really cool city, my sister summed it up when she called it a "little big city". It really does have the feel of a smaller city then it really is! I can see why Marie loves it so much!

So working for Jet Blue defiantly has it's perks but the flight to Boston was horrible! I had to sit in the jump seat on our overnight flight so I was exhausted when I finally got to Boston... but that didn't stop us, after a two hour nap we were off. We went downtown and walked through a park and then down the street with all the designer clothes shops. We went into Burberry and of course I saw the cutest coat but it was $700 :( I wanted it so bad but there is no way I could afford it. Maybe someday! After that we went to a discount store like a Nordstroms Rack where I bought two dresses! Next we were off to Marie's favorite restaurant for a late lunch which was amazing and our waiter was really cute which made it even better! We then we and picked up my cute little nephews at school. The funniest thing happened when we picked them up, the oldest one Collin told me that I needed to have a baby. I told him that I need a husband first, he then told me that I'm the one that had the baby and did the work so I really didn't. Haha... kids can be so funny. I told Marie and she let me know that Collin really wants a baby around. The rest of the day was cooking and hanging out with the family.

The next day Marie and I did lots more walking and eating. We went to Harvard campus and walked around. It really is so beautiful, one of the prettiest in the country for sure. We went to the natural history museum on campus which was really interesting. There was an exhibit about evolution that got Marie and I into a debate and I am now determined to learn more about it.

It was really fun to get out to Boston to see family! My nephews are so cute and Peter, the youngest on is so incredibly smart! It was so amazing to hear him read! I sadly didn't take any pictures but I'll have to next trip!

Costa Rica and Washington DC!

Costa Rica is one of my favorite places in the world! I just got back from my second trip and I was still amazed at the beauty of that country! I went with 3 boys which made the trip very interesting and entertaining. I only had met one of the boys a couple weeks before the trip(working for Jet Blue and being able to fly last minute came in very useful)!
The boys picked me up the airport and as we were driving to La Fortuna we saw a bungee jump place on the side of the road. Since that was one of the things we were planning on doing while we were there we stopped. This was one of the only places is Costa Rica where you can jump off a bridge so we decided to do it! It was for sure the scariest thing I've ever done but so worth it!

In La Fortuna we went swimming in the river with some of the locals and jumped off a rope swing.

The next place we went was Manuel Antonio which is a place I had never been. I have no clue why I hadn't been because it was the most beautiful place ever!

this was a restaurant in Manuel Antonio.

The prettiest sunset I've ever seen! I want to go back to this beach with my husband!

Crocodiles off a bridge! Crazy, there were about 25.

Jet Blue doesn't have connections that get back to Salt Lake in one day so I stopped in DC for a day and stayed with my friend McAllan.

Catch Up!

It has been a long time since I have updated my blog and a lot has happened. I am currently working for Jet Blue Airlines, which I really don't like the job but the benefits are great. I've gone to California a couple times and am going again this next weekend! My roommate Lindy also works for Jet Blue so it's fun to have someone to travel with. We were thinking about going to New Zealand next month but might end up in Costa Rica because it's a lot cheaper. Either way we will be traveling a lot!

I went on the singles cruise again this year. That was at the end of January and a lot of fun! It was different then last year I think because it wasn't as social as last year and I didn't meet as many people. The stops were amazing though. We left from Miami which was a fun city and went first to Cozumel. There I went on a drift dive which was a lot of fun and then went to a beach and hung out with a guy named Eric who became my cruise crush! The second stop was Belize. There we went four wheeling and tubing through a cave. Our group had so much fun because we broke off and went down the river not connected to anyone else. Next we went to Roaton Honduras, this of all the places we went is the one that I want to go back to. Here we went to an iguana farm and then I went on a shark dive! I dive was amazing! There were 10 sharks that were 8 ft to 10 ft long! I wasn't even scared even though they were so close I could have touched them! Last we went to Grand Cayman. By that day we were so tired so Lindy, Jamie and I decided to just go to seven mile beach and lay out. It was so nice!
