Ithaca

Sean, V, and I went up to Ithaca last weekend for the wedding of a college friend. It was the first time we'd been back in a while, and it was really nice to revisit some of our favorite haunts. It was also strange to go back - Ithaca still feels the same, as though we'd never left. Yet so much has changed - Sean and I weren't dating back when we lived in Ithaca, and now we're not only married, but we have a baby. Somehow the same, but totally different.

It was fun to take V around to our favorite places - the Arts Quad, Louie's Lunch, the gorges, Rand Hall, Purity ice-cream, Ithaca Bakery...Who knows? Maybe she'll go to Cornell someday (although at the rate tuition is increasing, we won't be able to afford to send her there!)



Buttermilk Falls - V slept through most of the hike, and fussed through the rest of it. I guess she isn't into hiking.





Beautiful patterns made by creepy water bugs.




This is Rand Hall - where we had our studios. It still looks exactly the same, down to the mounds of chipboard and parti models strewn all over the place. The new architecture building by OMA is almost done, and it looks pretty nice. I love Rand to pieces, but I might be just a little bit jealous.







The Green Dragon cafe, where we spent many midnights getting a cup of free coffee before heading back to studio to keep working. Still looks exactly the same.




The beautiful bride and groom!
