Yale

We took a trip to Yale - it was surprisingly eventful and tons of fun.

The gothic architecture of every building gives more than a huge Harry Potter feeling to everything. It was only a few hours before someone asked the question everyone was thinking: Where do they keep the sorting hat? The entire campus is gorgeous! Here's a typical jump-in-front-of-this-archway picture:

Not only did we find fantastic deals at the New Haven Flea Market, (dirt cheap Ray-Ban Aviators, Wayfarers and Burberry scarves - $5!) but we also took a college tour, consumed at least five pounds of fro-yo each, and ate fabulous dinners and lunches for three straight nights.

If you are ever visiting Connecticut, make it a must to stop by the Flea Market. You will find the best deals on everything imaginable - and who doesn't love a little negotiating? 

As for the frozen yogurt... We've learned to pick the lightest weighing toppings to minimize every possible ounce on the scale (and definitely don't weigh the spoon).

Overall, it was a needed break to the stressful lives of two high school girls. As soon as we left, we were dying to go back! It may even have been possible that we gained the "freshman 15" not in freshman year of college, but for the 3 days that we visited college. Yes, that's right. Pizza and mint chip ice cream for breakfast.
