Her light explodes in the air..pieces go everywhere



Woke up early Thursday - too much excitement for a long weekend at the beach

took an entirely too crowded train - full of complaints, but we had seats - no complaints from us

straight to the deli - snackerdoos of potato salad and mac and cheese

then to the beach - a walk to the jetty, a decision that seersucker was needed

1 jacket left - perfect fit

off to the big house - chicken, and rice, a salad with new dressing - but change isn't bad

delicious in fact




long talk, with cold beer on the porch with fairy lights

quiet sleep.

too early wake up - promises to a kid who thinks breakfast is at 8am

but worth it to be up

bacon and eggs, sausage and cheese and a big daddy breakfast with lettuce and tomato too

gave me all the extra black pepper

trip to the surf shop

wet suits and camo flip flops

coolest wet suits ever. coolest camo flip flops ever too

new pink polo, ice cream, camo pj pants - no those are leggings!

coolest looking 10 year old at camp soon.



to the beach. football in the ocean

elbows first!

keep away and so many giggles

shandys (an oceanside tradition now)

off to another BBQ

ham this time - really changing it up

Red, white and blue (or pink, white and blue)

seersucker suit - handsome as always

To the bar for a landshark and a water view


She's got fireworks in her eyes.

another early night - but worth it for the rest

Saturday sleep in - no one is allowed to wake us up

off to the beach for breakfast

i got the extra black pepper again

then a drive to the inlet

watched the boats - wondered if the fish were worth the cost of gas

does that mean we are adults?

i feel like that is an adult thought to have



then off to another waterfront bar - drinking at 1 is not a very adult activity

mojitos and oysters and laughing at drunk boys unable to keep their eyes open across from us

off to look at fishing boats - so many questions about what everything is

one called Mary Elizabeth - made me think of my Mary - she would have loved those boats

barnacles and buoys - lots of photos





back to the beach for lunch in the gazebo - shandys and light rainstorm

home to change

Lilly & Seersucker - good looking pair

to the real BBQ - hot dogs and hamburgers for appetizers

too much wine, too much beer

a family first - aunts & fuzzins vs. aunts & cousins beirut

a conga line

to-go cups of wine

tipsy, perfect evening

Early wake up - the hangover must wait as it is finally time to use the wetsuits

bikinis and swim trunks

coffee to go

to the beach



sex wax, long boards, solid surf

2 hours in the water, no interest in coming out

riding in on my knees, EBJ on his feet

coming back to him slowly, i learned to get off the board before i hit the sand

amazing morning - could have sat on the board forever

sandwich time, best shower of my life, more football

lobster roll, landsharks, steamers and corn



live music - lots of john mayer

back to the beach - just too nice a day to leave

another landshark - standing on a turtle

3 simple words.

perfect end to a perfect weekend.
