official!

two different hotels in boston are officially booked for july 29 - august 5. no going back now, and i am so excited i want to jump up and down. two more hotels to book and planning in between needs to be fine-tuned, but i am ready for my first road trip.

my dad asked me today why i was going. "to see things i haven't seen before. don't you want to see niagara falls?" "why?" he asked. i was so confused, but i think he just wanted to know why now, why there, why this boy.

i am currently enjoying perhaps the last two weeks i will ever be unemployed [unless i lose my job after getting one] and loving every second of it. i have said i wanted to go somewhere every summer for the past three years. i'm finally doing it, and i think i deserve it. i've always wanted to see boston, and i feel like i have seen so little of the country that i live in, that it's something i want to explore. as for the boy, i can't imagine going with anyone else right now.
