Like the Good Ol' Days

One of my very favorite old roommates/good friend came into town recently. Her hubby is working out here with Tyler while she stays in UT to make some $$. Well, the boys work about 50 hrs a week so it was just us girls during those times. She stayed at our apt because her husband lives with a bunch of guys, so it was just like we were college roommates again. We played a lot of tennis, laid out at the pool, ate out a bit, and experienced Hartford.

Playing tourist downtown.



I'm sure this fountain is much prettier with water running through it.

State Capital Building.



Civil War monument/arch.

Lots of old Catholic churches...here is one of many.



On our walk back to our car we went by where the circus was. Some security guards close to the entrence asked if we wanted to go. We were like we don't have tickets. Then they were like well we could change that. Anyway, they gave us two free tickets. It was pretty funny...the two of us mid-twenty girls going to the circus together, but we had a blast.







There were lots of other acrobatics, but I was too busy watching to take any pictures. I loved the acrobats.

We, also, hit up Mark Twain's house. The tour was a little pricey, but it was cool. We weren't aloud to take pics of the inside :( His house is right next to Harriot Beecher Stowes house, but I forgot to take a picture of hers. It was also beautiful.

That's one of the things I've liked the most out here, the houses. There are lots of old houses and I LOOOVE them. Someday we will live in a house from the late 1800's...

The one day the guys had off we went and saw Phantom of the Opera. Chelsea has some pics, but I don't. It was fun.
