beach and lobster.

August 19, 2009

So we found this new beach in Gloucester this summer and it’s A-mazing! It’s called pebble beach (we think) and it’s off the beaten path so it’s fairly empty… which was especially great the other day when Good Harbor was packed with people and it was over 90 degrees!

And THIS picture is some of the delicious lobsties Zan and his brother Clark caught yesterday while we were on our trip to the beach. They were just as tasty as they look… and drenched in butter I’d say they were nothing short of wonderful.

John and Hillary get married!

August 16, 2009

So this weekend we went up to Cooperstown for the wedding of one of Zan’s good family friends. I was super excited from the start because I love weddings and I LOVE dressing up. The wedding was at the Otesaga, one of the most BEAUTIFUL hotels I have ever been to. The day was absolutely magnificent and as most weddings go, sent chills up my spine. Zan’s brother Erik was the best man– he’s been friends with John since they were 3 months old! The wedding was held outside on the back lawn, looking right out to the lake (and if you know me, there is nothing better than a lake in the summertime). The cocktail hour was held on a deck overlooking the water, and there were the cutest white rocking chairs with a blue and white striped cushions on them- ADORE! The reception was held in the ballroom, where the food was delicious, the drinks were flowing, and the dancing was merry. I think it’s safe to say we all had a blast. Cheers, John and Hillary! CONGRATS!!

Here’s some pics from the wedding:

the way life should be.

July 27, 2009

This weekend’s adventure was to Maine, which is one of my most favorite places ever. I always have such a great time when I visit. Maine is (without a doubt): the way life should be. Hannah and I had a great weekend in Portland enjoying Saturday afternoon on Reebs and Rosie’s boat just loving Castco Bay. Finally, some real summer weather! For dinner we hit up The Lobster Shack for some lobster rolls and onion rings. It doesn’t get much better than that, people. We packed sunday in with some outlet shopping in Freeport where I purchased some great stuff at L.L.Bean and J.crew (love!). Definately didn’t need anything, but when I see something cute, sometimes I just can’t help myself.
Here’s a pic of me and Han at the Lobster Shack. So Maine.
Now I’m back in Boston after a very pleasant ride on Concord Coach Lines (as always!), but of course, already seriously missing vacationland… worth a visit, worth a lifetime. Can’t wait till next time!!

Newport.

July 20, 2009
Here are a few photos from my little friend’s bachelorette weekend in Newport, RI. We had an amazing time enjoying the seaside town! We started off the weekend at Fluke, a fun wine bar with yummy appetizers. We ordered a lot of little dishes to share and I don’t think any of us were disappointed! The owner was very friendly and accommodating too, seeing as we came by around 11 o’clock just as the kitchen was about to close!

The next day we started off the morning with some brunch at the B&B and then spent the afternoon at the Atlantic Beach Club sitting by the water enjoying some nice cold beverages in the hot summer sun. Terrific.


The above and below pictures were taken on a sunset cruise in Newport Harbor. It was a perfect night with a perfect sunset. And the glasses of champagne were only a buck! So much fun. After the cruise we had dinner at Asterisk … a fun restaurant in an old garage! They had good apps and the martinis were just delish. Our waitress was a little spacey, but I can overlook that if it’s a good meal. And it WAS.



This last picture was taken at the Castle Hill Inn where we had brunch before heading back to Boston. It was so much fun to sit right on the water and see all the sailboats go by. We all had some mimosas for one last cheers to a fabulous weekend!
