Maine

I spent last weekend visiting my sister Lindsey, who goes to Bowdoin College in Maine, and also surprising my Dad who went to visit Lindsey but had no idea I would be there. Maine was the most beautiful place I have ever seen in the fall.


Me and Linds on the gorgeous Bowdoin campus


More of Bowdoin-I must mention that the place reminded me of Hogwarts for several reasons:

*The campus is full of really old castle-like buildings and cathedrals

*The studetents are all affiliated with social houses with names like Howell House and Quinby House

*The students eat every meal together in a large dining hall

*While walking through their student union building I saw a sign that read "Quidditch Tryouts"-no kidding. Apparently they hold a quidditch tournament every year. They run around on brooms while other kids try to knock them down while searching for a penny "the golden snitch" in the grass

*The kids there all have rosy cheeks and wear lots of scarves-one guy in particular was wearing a thick, long black and white striped scarf with a Bowdoin insignia

Happy Fall!


I have been so sad about the end of summer that I forgot how much I love fall.


A few things I love:


*The crisp feeling in the air

*The smell

*The changing leaves

*Going on drives to see the leaves

*Wearing sweaters and jackets

*Drinking hot cider

*Halloween candy hitting the shelves

*Eating lots of soup

*Knowing that the holidays are on their way!
