Happy Fourth of July

Today was the best Fourth of July we’ve had in ages. It started bright and early with a trip out to Long Beach for a beach day with friends. Blog Pictures 2010 440    This was our first Long Island beach experience and were pleasantly surprised. The local train only took 50 minutes and was worry free! Blog Pictures 2010 436Upon arrival we made a quick stop at Bi-Wise Drugs to buy beach passes and sunscreen!

The rest of our day consisted of paddle ball in the water, wading in slowly but surely due to the cold temperatures, reading, laughing, people watching, and basking in the beautiful 85 degree sunny weather!

I was definitely all smiles today! I haven’t found my tan since our honeymoon!

The boys’ trip to the grocery store around noon proved very successful as they returned with Sabra hummus, Stacy’s pita chips, veggies, grapes, and pineapple! Holy yum!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. But luckily, the rest of our evening included Lauren, Casey, great food, and fireworks!
