Yesterday was the perfect day for a canoe trip! We headed down to the Conn River for a little R&R and some pivo. It was quite the bonding trip- and a great first day with new friends.
Views of the river and the killer boats.
My first friend Chris, and Leah, my new roommate!
Things are looking up...
This place is a legit cabin on the side of the road.
The gorgeous train bridge ran right over our heads.
Picking out paddles. Introducing SIT's Canoe Team.
Getting ready.
"I'm life guard certified in up to four feet of water." Ok, time for the life jackets.
The ladies of the trip: Leah, me, Amy.
Men, men, men, men, men. Chris and Jed play I spy.
So many bridges!
Since I'm very outdoorsy, they let me sit in the middle and just open the beers.
Job well done team.
Enjoying some Pilsner.
Amazing.
We found a rope swing!
The boys investigate.
Jed and Chris.
There they go!
The boys were really into it.
Super Chris. This will win some sort of SIT photo contest.
We pondered the idea of the rope swing while finishing our beers.
Chris.
We decided to do it too. I wasn't so great on the swing, but I gave it a few tries, then decided to go for a swim with Leah.
The CAR BOAT. It's a car and a boat. It has wheels and a motor. Amazing.
Proof of a good day on the water.
The bridge and Amy.
Grabbing a drink with Chris, Annie, Catherine and Leah.
Loving this town and these people already!
More to come soon. Our new roommate Darielle just moved in this afternoon. Looks like a cocktail hour is on the horizon. Here we go grad school!
