3 DAYS OF SUMMER

Only 3 days left!  And so many fun memories!  One of which is

Dad's Birthday Weekend

We had a LOT of friends down to celebrate with us,
it was GREAT!
We went to the beach,
ate a lot,
drank even more,
went out in Morehead City,
played cards,
drank peach daquiris,
and, interestingly, took the kayak out in the ocean:

It was an awesome birthday.

10 Days of Summer

Sadly, there are only 10 days of summer left. 
It's been such a GREAT summer, 
I'm sad to see it go!


For the next 10 days, 
in no particular order,
I am going to share some of my favorite memories from Summer 2010:


Memorial Day Weekend

I had a HOUSEFUL 
of friends to play with!


Shawn & Ryan came Thursday from MAINE,


Becky & Eddie arrived in the wee morning hours of Friday from D.C.,


and Becky, Colin, and Finn arrived Friday night, driving from CT!




I got to go to the beach a lot, learn about what bros love, us ladies killed the guys in flip cup, we got dressed up for a cocktail party, and it was my first time ever ON A BOAT:

Unfortunately, none of us had any idea what we were doing Captaining the boat, we drank a LOT of beer and sweet tea vodka, and the ocean was way too choppy for a pontoon boat... Luckily, we all made it home in one piece (well, we did lose my new leash).

We also celebrated Shawn's birthday, 

got fingerblasted,

experienced Ryan's awesome lemonade,

and I got to play (gently) with Mr. Finn!

I hope they all come back next summer!

Biking May be Hazardous to your Health

Mom & Seanna went out to the E.Club Saturday night
they rode their bikes.
I have learned several things from their experience:

(1) The E.Club is in fact a place for Cougars,
and my Mom & Seanna are some of them.

(2) Paddy's Pub is lame.  Seriously.  Don't go there (even if you do love it's Always Sunny and meet new 22 year old friends who also love It's Always Sunny and you all think it's a good idea to go check out the Paddy's Pub in Emerald Isle... it's not.)
This is how crowded it was at 1:30am:

note that there is NOONE else in the place and the band that was allegedly playing has already packed up for the night.

(3) Biking while intoxicated is HARD and probably DANGEROUS.
Luckily, they made it home to me safely, but I hear Seanna kept veering off the bike path and Mom almost fell over several times.
plus, they looked ridiculous riding their bikes in dresses.
