Hello Beach!

First and foremost, I would like to take a minute to honor my lovely roommate, Miss Elizabeth Ann Snyder who is turning 29 years young today. The best part about this (aside from the whole thing about her having life and all that jazz) is that there are officially 365 days left for Liz to complete her "30 before 30" list. Happy Birthday my dear friend! I'm so excited to help you knock some things off your list- even if that means forcing... ahem, I mean gently encouraging... certain people to participate :)

Today, some of us staff were finally able to grace the beach with our presence. The weather was awesome and the water was so refreshing. We busted out the frisbee, tried to not get swallowed by the huge waves, and soaked up as much sun as possible.

I sadly made the poor choice of wearing my adidas sandals that have those little "massage" bumps that hurt LIKE CRAZY if you're not used to wearing those types of shoes. As the skin of my feet were being ripped off, I decided I would rather brave the rocky, pebbled streets and searing hot sand than wear my shoes. So now, my feet feel like I've walked over a coal bed littered with knives. All to say that the next thing on my to-do list is to buy some new sandals.

This evening, my roommates and I made a trip to Cape May (a nearby beach resort community) and had an awesome dinner at this little taco place called Key West Tacos. Their guac was awesome... not quite as good as my homemade recipe but still pretty delicious :) We then took a walk around the adorable town which had a "Stars Hollow" feel (Gilmore Girls anyone?) and ate some gelato. I chatted it up with the owners who were from Milan and we discussed the awesomeness of being Italian... although I'm not sure they believed that I was of Italian descent given the blonde hair and blue eyes. But it was a lovely convo nevertheless.

And then we ran into this horse with a highlighter yellow strap thing on him. He knows what's up.
