Broke-Ass Student

Matty and I decided we needed to get away for a bit so we packed up the car and headed to Presque Isle, Pennsylvania to soak in some sun-drenched beach fun. Sometimes it just feels good to recharge and step away from all the stress and mundaneness for a few days. We stuffed the car full of sunscreen and snacks as we prepared to set off on our journey.

Presque Isle is beautiful and has eleven beaches with lots of inexpensive activities to indulge in. We spent a lazy morning canoeing through a lagoon and rented bicycles for a few hours to explore the nature trails, marina and lighthouses. Then it was time to pack a picnic and head for the beach! This particular spot was a definite favorite with kite runners.

The next morning, Matty took an early run while I tidied up our room and prepared some coffee. The weather was gorgeous so I opened the door for fresh air, and who should wander in but this little bugger? She jumped on the bed for a quick snuggle and nap, and she was also very pregnant!

The trip was a pretty cheap and we had a lot of fun - exactly what I needed. Today we’re heading up to Niagara Falls to spend a relaxing evening hiking through some of the islands.
