Hot fun in the Summertime

After the wedding, had a great relaxing week of soaking up the rays from my mom’ & Peter's porch and pool in Staunton, Tania & Ned’s beach house in New Jersey and David & John’s beach house in Delaware. Many thanks to all for the great hospitality and fun times! There are Scrabble re-matches to be had with all come Christmas, plus catching up reading Harry Potter to Nadia.

Saw a great documentary, Food Inc, w/Mom and Peter and one of the main farms featured, Polyface Farms, turns out to be right outside Staunton! Small world! Bring on the local meat and eggs! Speaking of farms, there is nothing like New Jersey and Delaware produce in the summer. Had the most gorgeous cantaloupe and corn. Mmm good!

The weather gods were also smiling as it was gorgeous weather all week, save for the drive home from Dewey in a practically apocalyptic thunderstorm. OMG, like torrents of rain! Never fear though as my journey was safe and sound in, well a Journey. I got a free upgrade on my rental car and moved up from economy to nice big sturdy emerald green Dodge Journey. This came after getting a free upgrade on the flight over to World Traveller Plus. Thanks BA! Beach pics are here
