so in ONE MONTH i am going to be on the east coast in new england. can i say how stupidly excited i am for going somewhere – aNYWHERE- for a trip? i mean, last month jane and i went to visit cousin lori, but that was the boonies and not a lot going on (sorry lori).

don’t worry; my travel companions and i will all be fully vaccinated when we go, and you best believe that i am wearing a kn95 on the airplane and in the airport.

we are flying into boston and then renting a couple cars to take us to rhode island where we have a condo for a week, right next to the atlantic. i’m not sure exactly what we’re doing, but i do think we’re spending a day in boston for sure, and i’d like to check out salem (though i’ve heard it’s kitschy and touristy and who the heck cares i’m sure i’ll love it). 😍  i wouldn’t mind taking a day trip to check out the appalachian trail since we’re so close to it (well, relatively). i don’t even care if i’m the only one who goes – there’s a reason we rented two cars!

and of course i am planning on eating nothing but lobster rolls and crab cakes while i’m out there.

anyway, anyone who’s been to new england and has any recommendations, write them in the comments!
