Six whole days! This has to be the longest I’ve gone without blogging.

It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, it’s that 1. I was actually enjoying a relatively “disconnected” existence over the holiday weekend, and 2. blogging from a crap ass Blackberry Pearl Back-up Party Phone makes me want to slit my wrists.

That’s not true — I just miss my iPhone dearly. But don’t worry, I’ll be back in the loving arms of one soon enough. UNTIL THEN, here’s a photo recap of my four-day weekend at Long Beach Island! It couldn’t have been a more perfect vacation and I’m very lucky to have such a wonderful and generous family. The hot hot hot days were spent eating and drinking and lounging and partying and reading and laughing and daydreaming and never wanting to go back to reality.

OUR HUMBLE ABODE (otherwise known as The Most Beautiful Shore House in New Jersey): 

MAJOR R&R&R (rest, relaxation, and ridiculous floppy beach hats):

FEAST AFTER FEAST (steak! shrimp! porkchops! veggies!): 

,

UNBELIEVABLE SUNSETS from the rooftop of the house:

FOURTH FESTIVITIES (fireworks, red, white & blue and Dom Perignon):

BEACH VANITY (totally excessive/necessary photoshoots):

The one and only shot of our awesome group that just happened to be THE POOREST QUALITY picture ever.

Seriously, y’all. Wonderful, wonderful weekend. Now back to some regularly scheduled blogging.
