Chihuly

I love the work of Dale Chihuly. I saw his exhibit at the NY Botanical Gardens and I was blown away. You have to check his website out. Here are some of the pictures I took while I was there. He makes everything out of blown glass.




























This one looks like fire to me.

















He calls this one The Sun.

















Here are some of my favorite works on his website. Of course I have a lot more favorites since I love almost everything he does, but these are just a few that caught my eye the first time I looked at them.

-Blue seaform
-Macchia forest

My trip to DC

Me at the White House. It was so awesome to be in DC and see all the amazing monuments. I saw the Capital Building, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the WWII Memorial, the Treasury building, the Vietnam Memorial, etc. I also got to see the original Declaration of Independence and the original Constitution and Bill of Rights. There is so much to see there--I highly recommend visiting DC if you get the chance.

Me and my cousin Amber at the Kennedy Center with the Potomac in the background. We went to hear a salsa band play for free! It was so fun.

I'm the (wo)man!

Yesterday when I was playing touch rugby, a guy tagged me and HE fell over. Everyone was laughing because he was about my height and weighed somewhere around 200+ lbs. I’m the man...I mean woman.
