We are having the best week! Not a drop of rain in sight. [Knock on wood!] We’ve been living it up on the beach and relaxing inside for meals. [Check out my Instagram video for a fast-forwarded tutorial on the Air Nest!]
This cocktail hour spread + leftovers turned into dinner one night when we stayed on the beach too long into the late afternoon.
Crostini with triple cream brie and fig spread:
M loves guac!
Plus shrimp and green beans!
My friend Miriam is on vacation with her family just four miles from us, and we coordinated play dates for our boys, who are friends, on the beach. They LOVED hanging out together! Mazen went over to their beach for a few hours on Wednesday, and we hosted R at our beach on Thursday. They get along so well!
Pirate toys kept them busy for an hour ; )
We had lunch on the beach that day, and I had a tomato, turkey, and cheese melt photographed with a sunscreen-covered camera! Hey, at least I was protected from that killer sun!
Shark snack attack!
Kite flight!
Ice cream afternoon outing:
Breakfast fuel: pancakes, peaches, sausage.
Leftover crabs for lunch!
Ice cream at the beach is third to chips, and wine : )
Mr. Mazen is worn. out. He melted down on the beach around 2pm and then insisted he wasn’t tired. It must have been opposite day because I told him we were having quiet time together and then this happened about 45 minutes later:
Ni-night everyone!

I loved everything about this post! The beach looks absolutely gorgeous- that sky! I swear ice cream tastes better at the beach and I always HAVE to have it. Enjoy the rest of your time there!

I’ve seen so many beach vacations this year; they are making me want to do a beach vacation. I’m with M too. I love guacamole; it’s one of the best chip dips.
