The last days of our first year at Tuck.

After the in-law visit, we had two full days to say our short-term goodbyes to first year students filing out to their summer internships and longer-term goodbyes to second years who won't be in Hanover by the time we get back. 

Highlights include:

Multiple visits to the newest Hanover business: Gelato!

Went to this movie with a group of girls (and Jamie).

(santa monica dwellers, do you think this scene was inspired by Sonki?)

(oh wait, i just googled sonki and he's not at all the large, african-american dude in my brain and portrayed in the movie)

Canoe-bq trip down the Connecticut River.
Check out:
1. The big dogs swimming out to greet our boat (in the back).
2. Hudson as coxswain (pull!pull!).
3. Name of the white boat in the foreground.

This southern boy made shrimp boil and it was glorious.
Many stayed to camp on the island in the river, but we did a sunset canoe trip back home.

Stood through thunderstorms to see Ray LaMontagne*.
The deep fried oreos helped (the crispy cookie becomes cake-like!).
*we used this song for our first dance.

A casual backyard bbq with remaining Tuckies.

Check out the luscious grass! Never see anything like it in CA.

And here's the kicker....NO SPRINKLERS.

This is Zucca.

Laura and Ian adopted her in October and I love her.

I was clearly stressed about all the things left to do.

Ha, ya right.
Denial is bliss!

Up next: move to Providence for the summer.
