Going To Boston Baby!!

It has been quite the week already and we are only have way through.
This week, I have already -

Been to Boston
Read 150+ pages in a book
Written an essay plus started my common app
Ran my first Cross country race this season!!!
brought all my supplies for my buddy box (a decorated box of gifts that we give anonymous to a teammate!)
And ate a moon cake =) *nom nom*

I am trying my best to post twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays. It is definitely starting to become a bit difficult due to cross country, homework (sooo much of it), and just overall exhaustion. I am determined to keep my post up through this busy time though. Looking back on my blog is sort of like a mini diary to me now and I would love to be able to continue it. I think I am going to try doing outfit post a little bit less just for now because taking, uploading, editing, and linking the photos can take up a huge chunk of time that I sadly don't have! With that being sad, I do plan on blogging more about my life whether that be a a new product I got, a race I've run, a trip I took, or just my thoughts for the day! =)

Now onto my fun in Boston this weekend!
On of my family members recently had a baby in August and it is always tradition to visit someone when they have baby. I love kids of all ages so I was super excited to go. My mom, sister and I all went with our cousins. My mom isn't the best driver so we chose to carpool with our cousins instead. All my cousins have kids as well. One of them is 14 while her sister is only 6. The little one is so cute!
Here are a few photos of my outfit choice for that day. =)

I had to do hw in the car b/c I had a 100+ pg to read and I could not finish on sat. =(

It was surprisingly warm in the afternoon on this day so I planned ahead and wore a skirt! (I honestly just like dresses + skirts more than pants! hehe) I chose a casual look with my floral skirt from Hollister and a black top. I remember getting this skirt freshman year from my best friend. She's in collage now, but next year, I might be at the same collage as her. It's a state collage (Uconn) and most of our school applies there. My grades are fairly good, but Uconn is becoming a more competitve school so I don't know if I can get in ekkk.

The trip to Boston actually went by pretty fast. The first half hour was a bit rough, but I felt like things went quickly after that. My cousin who was driving also is kinda of a speeder which helped get us there faster hehe. The kids in the car were the cutest things ever. I absolutely adore kids so the thought of being in a car with them actually sounds enjoyable to me. (unless I want to sleep!... or do hw!) The little girl was really shy at first, but towards the end of the trip, she started warming up to me. We shared snacks!!

Never had either of these before, but they were delicious!

The interesting scenery...

Once we got to their house, we were all really anxious to get out of the car and into their home to see the baby!! The family members we were visiting lived on the 7th floor and they had such a beautiful view from their balcony! Below them was a little pond and everything just looked so clean. Although it was hot, I could tell how pure the air was! It was quite different from New York!

.....and now for the pictures of the baby!! The little baby's name is Ian and as of now, he is barely a month old! I never knew how tiny a baby could be. It was almost surreal. Ian was smaller than the length of my arm and only about 11 lbs! When we got to their home, Ian was sleeping. According to his parents, he doesn't sleep during the day at all, but when lots of people come over to their house, he falls asleep! How adorable! I think he was "fake sleeping" the entire time honestly. He is so cute! Here are two pictures! Take in the adorableness!
