Little explorations

I've been busy. 

My summer internship with the Whitney is going well! I've been enjoying my time there a lot, enjoying the various projects I'm working on, and learning a lot from the various seminars/trips we've been scheduled for (so far we've had seminars with a few Whitney curators, their General Counsel, Chief Marketing/Communications Officer, Head of Education, Head of Publications, etc; bright and early tomorrow we have a trip scheduled to the New Museum).

Besides that, I also recently interviewed with the ACLU National Archives, and will be interning there this fall (for school credit, hurrah!!). 

And besides that, I've been wanting to travel more. 
To remedy that, I've been exploring more of NYC lately (walking a WHOLE LOT every day), visiting the High Line, Hudson River park, East Village, Coney Island (mermaid parade!), and lots & lots & lots of Chelsea.

Needs more stamps!
Colin and I also took a day-trip to Philadelphia last weekend, which had been both of our first times in Philly and had been on the agenda for a while. First stop was to the Yards Brewing Company (a Philadelphia microbrewery) for some Yards beer and free brewing tour:

Can't leave without actually sampling some beer, right? 
Not counting the free beer samples during the tour, that is...

Shared a flight, which is a tasting of their Signature line of  beers 
(there's also a flight option of their Revolution line beers, which are their 3 presidental ales and the love stout-- but we went with the signatures). 

Afterwards, we walked around and did some usual touristy things.

As far as this (long) weekend goes, I have no idea where to go. 
What's a good day trip-- no overnighting, unless if there's a campground-- from Princeton, NJ? Cape May, maybe? 
As a side project for the summer, I've been tackling this guy and chronicling the progress:

I imagine my next post to just be photo progressions of this thing.
