On Friday night, I went to a Harvard/Yale mixer on a rooftop in downtown DC. Below, you can see a picture of the Capitol and the DC skyline. It was actually really fun! Hot dogs, hamburgers, lots of desserts and drinks, and meeting new people. I stayed for almost three hours, then headed back to pack for Charlottesville!
On Saturday, I took the bus down to Charlottesville. Mia met me at the station. Below, you can see the sign they drew for me!
This ^^ is Ben. I fell head over heels for this guy. He's psychotically enthusiastic about absolutely everything.
On Saturday afternoon, we walked around UVA and got froyo. Here are a few pictures of UVA:
I got the behind-the-scenes tour, which included many of the private "pavilion" gardens.
Mia and I went shopping in Charlottesville, and found the most awesome toy store ever! I bought glow in the dark stars for my room and a little parachute man and miniature velociraptor for Chris.
On Saturday night, we all watched Silver Linings Playbook.
On Sunday, we had pancakes for breakfast. Then we got in the car to drive up to the mountains. We stopped to go peach picking and buy a quart of peach ice cream for the picnic.
When we got to the top of the mountain, it was beautiful.
We went swimming in the neighbor's pool and had a picnic.
Then the storm came rolling in though.
Before we knew it, it was pouring and thundering and lightening! We didn't want to be stuck up there long enough for me to miss my bus, so we started to drive back down the mountain. It was a little scary until we got under good tree cover. We got back with some time to spare, so Mia and I watched another episode of Gilmore Girls.
All in all, it was a great weekend. I made it back to the city by 10pm.
