Jersey Shore (Long Beach Island: North Beach)

I know I've been somewhat of a stranger to my good ol' reliable blog, but sometimes it's healthy to take a break from the norm and enjoy what life has to offer at the given moment. This past weekend up until Wednesday evening I was relaxing on Long Beach Island on the Jersey shore with Shawn & most of his family. We were in the North Beach area very close to Harvey Cedars. It was unbelievably hot at times yes, & the flies that love to bite were a little distracting, but taking a dip in the ocean (almost everyday) was refreshing and invigorating. From the relaxation on the sand everyday to the longest game of Uno in history (accompanied by lots of alcohol) to dinner at the Boat House in Beach Haven filled with seafood it was the perfect vacation. The best part of the entire experience was just hanging out with the family, feeling accepted as a part of Shawn's life. AND it goes without saying, Shawn has been nothing but AMAZING! This weekend we're heading back for a little more sun and hopefully happiness all around.

I hope you're having a wonderful week and stay cool if you can. Oy, it's ridiculously hot in Manhattan today.
