Name: Alice Hines
Occupation: OC Blog Editor
Travel destination: Fallingwater in Mill Run, PA
Carry-on necessities: PRISM bathing suit, Kamali Kulture Square Cat Eye Sunglasses, extra-large OC tote bag, baseball hat, and, most importantly, BF and super fun travel companion, Jay.
Reading materials: I've been trying to practice my French, so I brought along an old copy of Madame Bovary from college and picked up Molière's L'avare (The Miser) at a bookshop in Harrisburg called the Midtown Scholar. This place is enormous and has a bigger foreign language section than anywhere I've been in NY!
Most over-played track on your iPhone this trip: "Analogue Bubblebath" by Aphex Twin
Favorite outfit to travel in: Jorts, duh!
Highlight of your trip: Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is the obvious pick, but a close runner-up was ROADSIDE AMERICA, an enormous, but miniature, village in Shartlesville, PA. Both are masterpieces of architecture, in their own weird ways.
Souvenirs you brought back: A bag of perfectly ripe peaches from a stand on the side of the road![]()
"Ohiopyle, ten minutes down the road from Fallingwater, is a gorgeous mountain town with a crystal-clear creek." -Alice![]()
The quintessential Fallingwater photo-op. Not visible in the picture: the group of 30 CMU precollege students behind us taking selfie upon selfie. (Was the one wearing Google Glass able to sneak pictures inside the house? Still dying to know.)
