Labor Day weekend is always a little bitter sweet for me. As a kid the anticipation of school, the new
year, new friends, new outfits and a new sports season kept me reeling for a
whole month. Now as an adult, I look forward to the humidity lying down in
Charleston and having the beach back to ourselves. Mentally I am preparing myself
for the upcoming holiday season. But I can never let summer go. I thoroughly enjoyed
mine even with all the rain! Trips to Maine and North Carolina made it even
sweeter. Since I love a list here is a little list of what I did this summer.
..
I went to Maine for our annual family vacation. It gets better every year.
I watched The Notebook for the very first time… I know.
Took up yoga. Finally. Yin Yoga is my new homie.
Got caught in the rain at least 5 times.
I decided to get better at surfing. I surfed almost every weekend and have improved like a champ. Thank you for all the help Josh Wilson!
Fell in love with my future (hopefully) nieces and nephew. Fell even more in love with my existing nephew Robbie.
Ate a shrimp burger at El’s Drive In.
I saw old friends and made new ones.
Tried smoked mullet – the jury is still out on that one!
I collected shells, sea glass and heaps of other misc. treasures this summer
I did yoga under the oaks, and two hour yoga for the honeybees.
I drank plenty of painkillers and ate too many nachos at Hometeam.
Rode my bike in the warm (hot) sun.
Decided that I like Kale. Went through 2 punch cards at Verde since June.
Sipped wine on the porch and gossiped with best friends.
I got 3 product placements on different TV shows and movies. Yay!
Went off shore but did not catch a darn fish. There is a first for everything.
Watched as many sunsets as possible.
Cooked a breakfast feast for the fam every morning on vacation. Thanks to my sous chef Robbie Coda.
Went to see as much live music that I could. Donovan being my favorite!
Celebrated Birthdays, engagements and good friends.
It was a fun and relaxing summer. I hope that I can carry my summer vibe into the fall and winter season. Don’t worry you fall lovers, pumpkin flavored everything is on its way!
Love, Dee
