MIA

Oh, wow. It's been almost two months since my last post. Yikes. Needless to say, things got a little busy for me. I was working on a couple designs simultaneously for two clients while finishing my semester and starting a new job. So, that makes three jobs now! I'll explain those projects in my next post. But, in the meantime, here's what I've been doing over my school break:

1.  I explored Olmsted and Vaux's masterpiece: Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

2.  I ambled through Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan.

3.  I took the train to the Dia:Beacon. The art gallery sits on the banks of the Hudson River, sixty miles north of New York City

4.  I explored the Smithsonian grounds and museums in my hometown, DC.

5.  I walked around historic Capitol Hill.

  1. Explore Prospect Park, you did, you intrepid woman!! When many Brooklynites weren't so bold as to even leave the house after such a snowfall, Brave Breazey schlepped all the way down from Washington Heights! You certainly deserved that post-hike Manhattan...
