Notes from the Shore

Published by lolly at 10:18 am under Local Fare (MD, DC)

Kris and I are enjoying a few days respite at the beach… it’s our annual trip to the Maryland shore with his family.  It always seems to fall at a nice time – and this year was no different.  Work has been quite busy for both Kris and myself and we were both projecting for this trip – sleeping in and lazy days.  So far so good :)

Kris and K on the Beach

…I have read two books from cover to cover and started a third just this morning.  I am planning to write up a nice summer reading post very soon, and I will include information about these books, no doubt!  The rain and fluctuating weather has primarily kept us indoors, but we did enjoy a nice cookout and boat ride with Kris’s uncle and family last night.  It was a lovely evening on the Bay – and we managed to fit 14 people on a pontoon boat with no consequences.  Of course, you know I will have plenty of photos to share when we return home… you all well know by now that my camera is pretty much strapped to me at all times!

Can You Spot Crabby?

In that spirit, I will whet your appetite with some photos from our previous trips to the beach… from 2007 and 2008 trips :)

    That first photo is precious — and the lighting/colors are terrific!

    I hope you’re having lovely weather – I’m at the Jersey shore and we have yet to see the beach between rain and clouds. Can’t wait to hear about what you’ve read. Summer reading is my favorite!

    Oh, that part about the pontoon boat made my heart drop – we almost sunk one on the 4th of July one year! Glad you’re having fun and finding time to slow down!

    This picture reminds me of what summer should be like. It creates a restful and peaceful imagine in my mind…

    Glad you’re enjoying a nice vacation! Can’t wait for some summer reading recs! For my staycation I just bought the Sookie Stackhouse books, based on your reviews! Can’t wait to dig into them!

    Mmmm…. enjoy your time off. I’m headed to the beach myself. Next week I head East to New-Brunswick to visit my parents.
