Even though some people hate to admit it, there are plenty of things to do in the area. Well, as soon as the weather stays consistently nice.

Mosey Down Main Street

Every local looks forward to the Mosey Down Main Street. Moseys happen throughout the summer in the downtown area. If you are looking for local art and music then these are for you! They are known for dancing, live music, arts/crafts, street performers, and local foods.

Dancing and Cruising in the Streets

I have personally performed in Dancing in the Streets and it is definitely one of my favorite activities in this town. If you love old fashioned cars and dance performances by local studios then this is the choice for you. Once again, there is always food and live music with fun activities for everyone of all ages.

Colombian Park & Zoo

First of all, the park is perfect for a nice relaxing day and a packed picnic lunch. Second of all, the zoo is not like your normal zoo as seen on TV. This is a zoo done Indiana style with the main attraction being the petting zoo. This petting zoo is full of goats and if you're lucky the babies will be around.

Farmer's Markets

Who doesn't love fresh produce and good people?! The farmer's market is a weekly event that allows people to sell their product whether it be food or a handmade gift, it is definitely worth it.

Walking Downtown in the Evening

Walking with a group of friends or a significant other around downtown is one of my favorite things to do. Maybe plan a dinner and then just walk around to take cute pictures in front of cool murals or statues. Make the most of your night. You can always use more pictures for Instagram.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
