The big excitement on Thursday was during the all-staff meeting when they announced which cabin everyone would be switching to. For the first 3 weeks I had been with the 15-16 year old girls in the Bear Cabin, and on my request form I actually put 'Bear' as my top choice of cabins. I was really happy when the time came and I was called up on stage surrounded by a new team, and it was announced that we would be the Bear Cabin. I reallyenjoy being with the oldest girls so I'm glad to continue on as a Bear counselor.

The next exciting thing for me was that Lauren, Donelda and Alex invited Josh and I to go with them to Boston, Massachusetts during 2-day intercession. We jumped on that invite really quick since Josh and I share a love for traveling, especially to cities.

So we split on a hotel room and we spent a day and a half just walking around Boston and seeing the sights. None of us had spent much time in Boston before so it was all new. With a little help from a guide book and the hotel clerk, we didn't have much problem at all finding our way to some pretty cool stuff.

Surprising to me, one of my favourite activities was going to the top of the Prudential Building and taking in the scenery of historic Boston. Usually the cityscape doesn't interest me a whole lot, but with it's little buildings and sailboats, the scenery of Boston captured my attention more than any other city that I've been in so far.

We also ate at a fabulous Mexican place, and explored the Boston Common (which I found out is actually the oldest park in America). Things started getting funny and a little awkward when we sat down in the grass and and suddenly a bride and groom arrived with their photographer and party, and began posing around us to take pictures but insisted that we stay.

In the evening we went to the Quincy Market and we all bought Boston t-shirts. We had an early night and spent the next morning at the water front. Since we all had a meeting that evening, and the kids would be coming the next day, we left in the early afternoon.

I would certainly go back to Boston. It is such a pretty city. And I'd certainly like to explore some more cities that I've never been to before.
