Summer 2011

We finally bought our tickets for our summer vacation.

We are finally going back to Ocean City, MD, not to be confused with Ocean City, NJ.

I am so excited. We wanted to go last year and couldn't make it work, but this year we can.

Ocean City is across the Chesapeake Bay from Baltimore and the surrounding areas. It is an island/peninsula that is its own little world. On one side is the Atlantic Ocean, and on the other side is the Chesapeake Bay. If you go far enough north, you will end up in Delaware.

I can not wait to see this beautiful place again:

Even with all the crowds of people.

And work on my tan.

Possibly spend some time on the bay side.

This is the view from BJ's on the Water.

Of course we could get into some crazy shenanigans and run into a mustache night:

We were wearing these mustaches before it became all the rage.

I think I even brought it home with me, but I have no idea where it is.

I also plan on spending A LOT of my time doing this:

Where are you going on your summer vacation?

Summertime and the Livin's Easy

Summer is my favorite season. I love it, especially here in San Diego, although, none of these photos are from San Diego, but please ignore that and focus on the feeling of summer.

Today actually felt like summer. I went to church, had lunch, Chris and I took a 6 mile walk around the lake, I got a sunburn. Then I went to lay out by the pool and went swimming. It felt glorious. I may or may not get in the pool again, but it felt great none the less.

Summer has the best clouds and the best beautiful blue skies. Especially here in California. It is, by far, the greatest. This is Lake Tahoe for 4th of July. Absolutely beautiful.

I don't really like to swim, but at the same time, it is perfectly summer. This is from childhood, my dad and me. In our pool. I miss that house and being a carefree child.

And how doesn't love sitting on the beach? I love it. Yes, those are my tan legs. Lucky me, although, right now, they are not so tan. This is in Ocean City, Maryland. The cards were not in it for us this year to go, but next year, you'll see us.

And if the beach at the ocean is not your thing, have no fear, the lake beach can be yours. This is Lake Tahoe. It is perfect in the summer. Absolutely fabulous.

I do not like baseball, but it is the summer sport. And if I can watch Nick Markakis play then I am a happy girl.

I LOVE SUMMER!
