Stayed Home

I stayed home this past due to my car being broke down with a rear brake sticking. I couldn't drive anywhere because I dropped my car off at the garage to get fixed.

With that said, Kylie and I just stayed around the area and walked around. We didn't do anything spectacular besides lounge around the apartment, which I actually love to do! The only thing that Kylie and I did was go on a walk with my two nieces on Monday when it was damp and rainy out. For some reason the girls wanted to go out with us that day, but not when it was better out. I am sure they did that just to be out in the rain.

I picked up my car on this past Tuesday so I will be back in business to travel. I will be heading up to UNH this weekend, but I will document our trip to Dover, NH and anywhere else exciting besides Durham, NH.

UNH Homecoming

Kylie and I were
at UNH from Friday October 11, 2013 until Sunday October 13, 2013 for UNH homecoming and my birthday.

On Saturday, Kylie and I woke up super early to prepare ourselves for tailgating that day. We met up with my girlfriend and started the morning off right with mimosas. She brought over Kylie a magnificent jersey to wear to show off her school pride. Kylie was looking so freaking cute with her homecoming jersey on.






We had a blast at the tailgate!!! We ate some brauts, chips and dip, burgers, and lots more. Kylie was observing everyone around us trying to get them to give her food because she is cute like that. She is a very convincing dog, let me tell you! Everyone loved her outfit on as well. To be honest, she had more Wildcat clothing on than me.


After tailgating was over, we walked backed. I was not sober, that is for sure. Kylie kept me in line and got me back safely to the fraternity house. She seemed just as exhausted as I was, so I decided to tuck her in bed while I hung out with some alumni from my fraternity before I passed out with her.

The next day on my birthday I was to hungover to do anything so we just stayed in bed all day. I eventually got up and went out to eat with my girlfriend. I had a nice relaxing birthday.

Rhode Island

On Sunday October 6, 2013, Kylie and I traveled to Coventry, Rhode Island. We went down to celebrate my Grandmother’s 88^th birthday, along with the other October birthdays including mine. We spent the entire day at my Grandmother’s house eating food and cake. Kylie even got into the cake somehow!

When I eventually felt up to par from all that food, I decided to take Kylie out around my Grandmother’s neighborhood. Of course Kylie had to drag me into the woods while she chased the squirrels trying to get their nut! I let her do that time after time because she can never catch them and it amuses me how hard she tries to climb up the trees after them.

That walk was well needed for the both us. As soon as we got back to my Grandmother’s house, I relaxed on the porch and let Kylie roam the yard. Every time we go there, Kylie has a fixation with climbing and walking along the cement brick wall my Grandmother has surrounding the back edge of her lawn. In this picture, Kylie looks like wild wolf and makes her look so majestic!

I finally was getting tired and decided it was time for us to leave. We had a marvelous time with my family and can’t wait to see them all again. We said our goodbyes only to travel 2 ½ hours back home.

No Adventure; Family Time

This past weekend Kylie and I did not go on an adventure. The reason why we did not go out exploring was my father flew up from Texas for his 40^th year class reunion. Also my older sister, Jen, came over from New York to spend time with the family. I did not have time to go away this weekend to do something with Kylie.

Instead, I spent time with my father. We played golf Friday morning at Overlook in Hollis, NH and decided to go shopping for him. I wanted to help him pick out a suit for him so he could look dapper as f**k for his reunion. Of course he did!

Saturday we just had a lazy day with the family. We stayed in Manchester at my sister’s apartment. We had a nice family day.

On Sunday, my father and I played golf again at Sagamore in North Hampton, NH. It was particularly hard to play that day due to the heavy fog that rolled in. We were delayed for about 30 minutes. Even after the delay, the first four holes took forever. We lost every drive as soon as it went thirty yards in front of us. By the fifth hole, the fog burned away and it turned out to be a gorgeous day.

It took us five and a half hours to complete one round of golf. That was the longest round of my life. We were also paired up with two older gentlemen as well, which did not help our cause. Other than that we had an amazing day of golf.

When we got back, we did guy things like drink beer and watch football. I needed to watch football mainly for my fantasy football team.

This upcoming weekend I am going to Rhode Island.

Adams Point

Sorry for the late blog post everyone, but I’m sure you’re all dying to hear where Kylie and I went to the weekend of the 21^st.

Kylie and I decided to go to Adams Point in Durham, NH. This is one of my favorite places to go and free my mind whenever I am up at UNH. Unfortunately though, I forgot to bring my phone with me to take pictures because I was more focused on filming the location. I was filming Adams Point for another class that I am currently taking.

Only if I knew how to upload some shots that I took. I am telling you, this place is absolutely gorgeous. Adams Point is an estuary and part of the Great Bay. It’s a wonderful place to walk around and when the time is right there are ton of black raspberries to feast on. I won’t lie; I go every year to pig out.

Kylie gets so excited when we go here for multiple reasons:

1    1) She always gets to run around without her leash

2    2) She always gets to go swimming in the water, and

3    3) She loves chasing the abundance of squirrels

There is this one place where we always go to sit and observe. It’s a clearing in the woods that is atop a cliff, which you overlook the bay. Straight ahead there is an island with a small cottage that is accessible only by boat. For four years I have always wanted to get out there. This cliff is the most perfect location to watch the sunset, while listening to the waves crash against the shore line.

While we were chilling atop this cliff, a family came by and was looking for these devices. Geobox, I believe it was called. The cute thing about this situation was that Kylie was helping them to locate this device. We spent a good 45 minutes helping this family, but sadly, we came up empty handed. The kids just loved the fact that Kylie was attempting to help discover the Geobox.

The caretakers of the land have recently built benches along the trail that sits besides the shore, as well as steps to make it easier to get closer to that water. The views are just breath taking. Boats anchored off in the distance gives the area a distinguished look. It’s quite calming if you ask me.

I will forever love this place. The beauty of Adams Point will catch your eye, forcing you to go back to enjoy everything that it provides. I know I’ll be going there again next time I am at UNH.
