Brand New Day: Mt. Washington

Even though the universe was pulling out all the stops to try and get me to stay in Charlotte I made it home, Sunday around 11/midnight. Lets not even talk about the drama that I encountered trying to move on Sunday, all I will say is we were a bit ambitious for how much stuff can fit into a Jeep (as in a whole studio apartment worth of stuff will not fit.) Lets also not talk about the fact that even with leaving some stuff at a friends house I had to sit with items on me the whole 8ish hours home. And lastly lets also not talk about the fact that every single time I stop in a WV reststop its like Im stepping back into the 1980s and considering in my "real" life I only spent 2 years in the 80's I have no yearning to go back (normally this is where I would make a crack about the fashion sense of middle of nowhere WV, but today I was cleaning out my room at my Mom's and found a Steelers scrunchie. I can no longer judge). Lets instead look at how I spent my first day back. I also was a bit ambitious in terms of events I planned for this week. Monday alone consisted of going up the incline to Mt. Washington with my sister and her friend from college as well as her friend's adorable daughter, lunch (at Las Velas, good food I want to go back on a day when I can try one of their drinks), a job interview, and a trip to Target (why can you never get out of there without spending more than $10 -or $50) among other things. Word of advice, don't try to go to have plans the day after a big move. Luckily with my sisters help I was able to search through my stuff to pull off an outfit, but it was stressful to say the least.

Luckily I was able to de-stress by taking in the beautiful view up on Mt. Wash. As I've mentioned in my Pittsburgh Post 1 I love that place. Even though it was a gloomy day off and on and these pictures were taken with a phone, the City has never looked more beautiful. I was a complete tourist (minus the fanny pack and huge camera -no I'm not joking, there was a fanny pack wearer up there) and took a million photos - I'll spare you by not posting all of them. I must be in a giving mood - you all would be proud; not only did I not push the Cardinals fan/out-of-towner off the hill, but I talked to him as well.
