On A Boat

I got to go on a sailboat at a nautical-themed festival a couple of weekends ago! It was docked and I didn't actually go sailing, but it was still cool. I got to peek down into the living quarters. It looked pretty tiny! My favorite part was the wheel, though.









The festival itself wasn't too great. It was really crowded and made the area seem crappier than it actually is. Since I made it a goal of mine to have a real pina colada this summer, I decided this was the time I would have one. It was pretty good, though I probably wouldn't want to drink them all night. I love frozen drinks, but they're too heavy.









I decided I had to wear this beauty of a dress for the occasion. Chris got me this dress last year, and I really love it. The skirt is so full and perfect, and I love the classic navy and white combo. It makes it easy to accessorize with!







We walked around a bit, but after a couple of hours or so, we left and went home. The next day, I actually tried sushi for the first time. I hated it. I didn't try the hardcore fish ones, but I tried an avocado and cucumber one and a chicken one. I think the seaweed throws me off. I don't know. I just didn't like the overall taste, texture, and even smell. I don't understand people's obsession with it. Just give me a pizza or a burrito and I'm good. Luckily, the restaurant also had regular Japanese food so I got to have some chicken tempura, chicken teriyaki, and spring rolls.









One thing that's great about summer is all the outdoor food. Carnivals, festivals, etc...they all usually have food tents or trucks and it's awesome. There's nothing like the smell of yummy food on a warm day. One of the big local carnivals is this week and I can't wait to go get some fried dough. Speaking of fried dough, I'm still really excited that my Grandpa is going to make his homemade fried dough this year for Christmas. He hasn't made it since I was little!

I can't believe how fast time goes. When you're younger and in school, it always feels like the summer flies by and the school year drags. Now it's just always flying. I can't wait to be done with my graduate program. Once this semester is over, I will only have the fall semester and then one class in the spring and I'll be DONE. Then I won't ever have to worry about school or do homework again. I remember saying that when I graduated from my undergrad, and then I wound up going for my master's, but this time it's REALLY done. :)
