A relaxing weekend in New Jersey

Hello everyone! I'm posting quickly today before I head off to work. I'll be taking a bit of a hiatus from the blog for the remainder of August. As the summer comes to an end and as more and more lifeguards go back to school, I work more and more. Right now I'm scheduled to work every day until Labor Day so I won't have much time (or energy!) to take pictures and post them. As a way to prepare for this marathon of work, Rich and I went to New Jersey over the weekend to relax with his family. Here is a quick sampling of our time there...

Rich and Bowie hanging out on the porch. 

Vibrant tomatoes at the farmer's market.

Local and "Jersey Fresh" at the farmer's market!

Debbie, Rich's mom, preparing lima beans for succotash. 

Bird watching on the porch. 

Rita's italian ice (water ice) is a summer favorite here. 

Charlie, Rich's step-dad, preparing dinner on the grill! 

I hope everyone has a great end of the summer and can squeeze in that last bit of fun before school starts and the weather turns cold. I'll be back for more regular updates in September!
