Just Me and My Lens: I'm back...

Well folks, it was a busy summer! Between multiple trips to the Island, a family camping trip in Washington, moving to a new place, a trip to New York with my friend Bridgette, two weddings, a long weekend in the Okanagan, and many many hours of work I can honestly say that I am EXHAUSTED!

While I never relish the end of Summer, I am happy that Fall has arrived and with it a return to structure and normalcy. As I write this I have the Packers game on and the crisp fall air is coming in through my giant open window. Tonight I even plan to make my first pot of soup (Kale and Lentil to be exact) - definitely a sign that Fall has arrived.

So, as you might guess we have lots to catch up on. Let's start with the New York trip, shall we?

In July my friend Bridgette and I took off for a 4 day getaway to New York. We had been planning it since I came home from my East Coast vacation last September. We decided we had to go to New York when I mentioned to Bridgette that I had a ticket voucher for a Yankees game during the 2012 season due to my game being rained out. Clearly this meant that we had to go to New York together because we absolutely wouldn't want the tickets to go to waste. We flew out on a Cathay Pacific red eye flight from Vancouver to New York on a Friday night and were absolutely flabbergasted at how amazing Cathay Pacific was. We arrived in New York very very early Sunday morning, walked to our friend Tera'a place, changed, and set out to the Bronx for the Yankees game. Needless to say we were a bit tired but the game was fantastic. It was a scorcher (the whole week was) but it was a great day!
