Happy Monday, dear readers!

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

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

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

Toasted coconut ice cream…I died.

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

and spent too much time with Ted.

One night we had Cuban food for dinner

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

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.

We walked around a little bit and looked at the flowers and houses and beach.

Some of us stole flowers.

I’ll take this one, please.

We went to OCNJ and walked on the boardwalk.

There was a sea of colorful umbrellas!

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

Mission accomplished.

We considered going on the ferris wheel…

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.

Had dinner, then ice cream, and took lots of pictures.

They’re the best.

That’s it! Hope you had a nice weekend, too.
