A Week at the Shore

Hi friends!  I'm back from a vacation at the NJ shore and hope to resume the regularly scheduled program here soon.  Our family had a sweet, relaxing, and refreshing week together.  The waves were perfect, the sand was soft, my kids stayed up entirely too late every night, we all got a nice golden glow from Mr. Sun, I got to see a Red Panda (my favorite animal ever and what I would be if I were an animal or at least the animal I respond with when someone asks me what animal I would be if I were an animal as an awkward ice breaker question) and a peacock in a tree at the Cape May Zoo, my son ate at least 3 fistfuls of sand and seemed to enjoy it, I got caught out in the most hilariously and enthusiastically wet thunderstorm of my life during a shopping trip with my awesome sisters-in-law and mother-in-law, and I ate a lot of pistachio gelato.   So all in all pretty much a magnificent week.
