The Best of the Beach.

Happy Monday, dear readers!DSC_0477-001

This weekend was a good one for me- spent some time at the pool…IMG_5229

Visiting my Tia Malca (aunt Malca) with my brother, mom, and cousin.tia1 tia3

After our visit, we stopped for some ice cream that was amazingtia4

Toasted coconut ice cream…I died.

And then we headed home.  I also saw friends from last year, made some watermelon popsiclesIMG_5230

and spent too much time with Ted.IMG_5202 - Copy IMG_5226 - Copy

One night we had Cuban food for dinnerIMG_5175 - Copy

And another night we had Spanish tortilla!  Delicious, but not the same as tortilla espanola.  Rome wasn’t built in a day.IMG_5248 IMG_5251

This morning I went to the gym with my dad and then to the dentist with my brother.  All very exciting stuff!!

My real intent for this post was to share some of last week’s beach photos!  I have them on my computer, so why not share?

Most of our time was spent walking on the boardwalk or sitting on the beach, but one day my dad and I ventured off to Longport.DSC_0413-001

We walked around a little bit and looked at the flowers and houses and beach.DSC_0431-001DSC_0429-001

Some of us stole flowers.DSC_0458-001

I’ll take this one, please.DSC_0460-001

We went to OCNJ and walked on the boardwalk.DSC_0472-001 DSC_0497-001

There was a sea of colorful umbrellas!DSC_0467-001 DSC_0469-001

My only goal for the day was food…Manco & Mancos and KOHR BROS. to be exact.DSC_0500-001 DSC_0474-001

Mission accomplished.

We considered going on the ferris wheel…DSC_0480-001

but our better judgement said not to in light of the recent tragic amusement park accidents.

After our day trip, we spent an hour on the beach and then went to the bay side for happy hour drinks and a beautiful sunset.DSC_0531-001 DSC_0544-001

Had dinner, then ice cream, and took lots of pictures.DSC_0552-001 DSC_0578-001 DSC_0587-001 DSC_0600-001

They’re the best.
