Halibut Point State Park

Before our trip back to NYC we spent a day at Halibut Point State Park, which is currently my favourite beach due to the concentration of beautiful, massive rocks on the shore. Scenic trails through underbrush and tall grass lead you to the coast, and you feel like an explorer charting new territory.

The location is actually a former granite quarry, hence all the sweet rocks. I poked around tide pools filled with snail shells and seaweed, and then (illegally) climbed that gigantic rock pile in the distance.

The Fourth of July

The Fourth of July weekend was a welcome break from work city life, and Justin and I were able to spend (almost) two entire days together. We ventured to Boston via the Bolt Bus and enjoyed four hours of semi-comfortable seating and Wi-Fi access during the trip.

I planned absolutely nothing for the holiday. We kept ourselves entertained with tasty snacks, daily naps and bonfires. I probably spent too much time following the house cats around because I miss having a pet. Justin's dad baked a rhubarb pie and dedicated it to me!
