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.
