virginia trip plan!

well needless to say, I'm getting extremely excited about my upcoming trip to virginia!! I'll be flying down (in an airplane for the first time in a loooong time) the day after tomorrow and staying until next Monday! Here are some of the excellent adventures I plan to have:

RICHMOND

Spending time with all my Richmond friends, hanging out at Plan 9, getting breakfast at Can Can and every other meal at either Sticky Rice or Ipanema, enjoying the steamy southern summer weather, playing in the river, and of course at least one visit to Racine for cheese fries and a chocotini made by edward norton!

CVILLE

Not only do I get to see my besties Jen and Nora, but hopefully they will bring me shopping (please?). And we shall not forget the obligatory trip to Eppie's to marvel at my Pasta Font and a visit to the donut guy at the Cville Farmer's Market!!

SAFARI PARK

Enough said. Me + Britt + Zack.

ROANOKE

Mom. Meg. Steph (up from NC!). Pop's. The Shadowbox. Yes please!

Five Reasons Why I love NYC

1. The Brooklyn Free Store -- No hours or money exchanged, just sharing and recycling in a radical, amazing way.
   
2. Butter Lane Cupcakes -- Bakery run by punks, with dozens of frosting flavors to mix and match with chocolate, vanilla, or banana cake.
3. Pete's Candy Store QUIZZOFF -- Last week our team ("Ghost Friend") got third place! We won a free sandwich!
4. Subway Station Mosaics -- Especially ones featuring underwater creatures wearing goggles.
5. Gothamist.com -- NYC news of the most snarky, hilarious sort
   

Coming back south!!

Hi all,

Because my amazing nanny family has given me a paid week's vaycay, I'm coming back to VA for a couple days!

I'm flying into Richmond at 11a on Thursday, Aug 26 and flying back from there at 1pm on Monday, Aug 30. That's like 4 days of visiting!!!! Let me know what you're up to those days and I'll hammer out an itinerary!

SO pumped
