This Summer I...

Seeing as today is the first day of school (boo) I thought I would do a little recap of my craziest/busiest/best summer yet:

I traveled to London to study and intern with my sister:

I had the best day of my life at the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio:

I saw Kate Middleton on my birthday at her last public appearance before the baby!

I crossed off two things from my bucket list. Shopping at Harrods and seeing Stonehenge:

I celebrated my 20th birthday in London (and vowed to do 20 nice things while I'm 20):

I went to Wimbledon:

I fell in love with London and got to spend time there with my fabulous mother and sister.

I spent a week in France between Nice and Paris:

I tried my first ever macaroon:

I spent three weeks visiting my guy in California:

We visited San Francisco:

We saw the redwood trees:

We went to Carmel-by-the-Sea:

We visited Santa Cruz:

We drove around California in this beauty:

I went to Boston for a wedding:

And then visited Maine:

I saw many movies including: Lee Daniels' The Butler, Blue Jasmine, The Great Gatsby, The Spectacular Now, Blackfish, The Way Way Back, Despicable Me 2

I went to my cabin for the first time in three years:

I read 13 books, including all seven of the Harry Potter series.

I started a new blog series called Men React.

I started a new job.

All in all, it was a pretty wonderful summer spent with equally wonderful people.

Happy First Day of School!
