New Haven Adventure

Gabu and I

Last Friday, Gabu and I kicked off the weekend by going to have an adventure in New Haven. We needed to go to the Book Trader Cafe so Gabu can sell some books to make some extra cash. We deiced to make a day of it, and also get Starbucks in the process.

When we arrived to New Haven, the first thing we did was park. Parking in New Haven can be tricky, however, we were lucky to snag a decent spot. Once we parked and gathered our books, we dropped the books off. On our way there, we spotted the Tree in the New Haven Green. I told Gabu we simply had to take a selfie in front of it. Since we weren't sure of how long we would be, we decided to hold any selfie taking until we actually had time.

I love this picture of us and our tea!

Once we traded the books in, we headed to Starbucks. Gabu got a chai something, and I got Passion Iced Tea Lemonade. I also got a cake pop, as I am so obsessed with Starbucks' new cookie dough cake pop. It's one of my favorite things to get there.

Got my tree selfie! 

Then we headed back to the car, and realized we had more time on the meter. So, it was selfie time! After we took several selfies and pictures of the tree, we headed to the car, and headed home. Overall, it was amazing way to spend a Friday night, and it's always fun to have an adventure with your best friend!

New Haven Adventure

Last Friday night, I found myself hanging out with Gabu, as is the usual occurrence when they are home. This Friday night, we were headed to New Haven, Conn. to head to the Book Trader Cafe so Gabu can sell some old books to make some extra money. So, I being the person always wanting to go to New Haven, decided to offer to take the ride with them. (That, and I was being promised Starbucks.) So with that being said, we headed to New Haven.

Tree

We parked my car on a side street and then made our way to the bookstore, carrying several bags of books. It was severely cold out, however, on the way we stumbled across the fact that the tree for Christmas was still up. We made a mental note to come back, seeing as we were struggling to carry the books that we were carrying.

Of course, Gabu and I had to take a selfie in front of it.

Once we dropped off the books, we got our Starbucks. Gabu got a chai latte, and I got a Tazo Passion Iced Tea along with a cookie dough cake pop. After getting our goodies, we headed to the Tree, where naturally we took a few selfies. After that, we headed back to the car, and headed home.

Posing with some coffee!

Overall, it was a fun outing. It was nice to spend some time with Gabu, which I will surely miss as they head back to school next week. We had a fun night, and hopefully will have a few more before they head back to school.

Friday Night...At the Bookstore

Cupcakes, Star Wars, and impulse buys added up to be an awesome Friday night last week. After not hanging out for several months, we decided to finally get together and explore the shopping that was offered in North Haven, such as Barnes and Noble, Ulta and Target.

Elisia and I.

The first stop was Ulta, where I bought lipsticks and some BB cream, and she bought some eye makeup. After that, we went to Target, where I found a Snoopy watch and some other little presents for friends. Elisia found a Star Wars T-Shirt that she fell in love with and purchased.

After Target, we headed to Barnes and Noble, where we wandered around aimlessly at Barnes and Noble, since we're both bookworms and love to read. I got the book "Wicked," with an awesome coupon that I got online. After that, we decided to head to the cafe where they had the most amazing desserts. Elisia and I both got cupcakes, and a drink. We hung out there for a while and headed home.

Overall, it was a great Friday night, because it's not everyday that you get to go out and treat yourself. It's also not everyday you get to enjoy the company of good friends, especially when you're a busy college student, so you enjoy it while you can.
