I had a wonderful visit to New York - and the best day of my summer! I was able to join my brother and nephew August for his first trip to the beach!
We had lunch on the water, (littleneck and baked clams for me, chicken for August.) Then hit the beach and swam in the water.
He had a great time and loved the water. Our biggest chuckle of the day was in the back seat, when August turned and asked me, "Why is Grandma calling Grandpa .... Bob?" Fun day!
I took a quick over-night trip to Brighton with a friend - and her 6 month old puppy! Susan, Kona and I got to know the rocky English beach phenomenon, ate smoked kippers and saw the Brighton restaurant re-made on 'Kitchen Nightmares."
It was a mixture of a "London by the sea", and Santa Cruz. We had some nice hot weather, a rarity for this town!
Pictures are here!
We joined our friends Dave and Amy and their two children, 2 nieces and a bunch of other couples with kids at a 'pick-you-own' farm in Surrey a few weekends ago.
We picked up a fun Prius Zip Car and despite our best intentions of getting up early, we stuck to our usual schedule of leaving the city at noon. (Reminiscent of many weekends racing up to Napa because we were late.)
We had a huge bounty: blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peas, sun flowers, cherries, cabbage, one brussel sprout, and one piece of broccoli.
After a fun Sunday roast pub lunch- we headed back into the city! A good week followed with fresh fruit in our yogurt, coleslaw and a raspberry trifle.
