I am pink as a shrimp cocktail, but it was a great day

We both had the day off of work,
so I threw some extra blankets into the trunk, packed our picnic basket with a lunch of cold homemade fried chicken, pink lady apples, toasted naan and watermelon,
added a few icey bottles of Virgil's for Mr. Matt,
and we headed down to Beavertail State Park

Excellent job with the pictures. The lighthouse keeper looks suspiciously like R. Lee Ermey watching dinosaurs have sex in a compact car.

Our 4th of July weekend was generally quiet and relaxing. Friday, Sarah and I enjoyed a lunch out; we were going to see a movie, but Sarah was not feeling well from her sunburn. We returned home and I worked on the D&D campaign (which is getting into the climax portion), and we watched the neighborhood fireworks a bit.

Saturday, we managed to get to the movies and watched Hancock, featuring Will Smith. I enjoyed it, but his origin made less sense than it should have...

Sunday was visiting my family, buying some frames, and getting a map laminated for use in D&D. In between all of that, I was revelling in a huge spike in views of my Wordpress. I was also enjoying replying to some of the comments I received.

Other than that, we took it easy. And ate hamburgers. With cheese.

Lovely, lovely!
Flying a kite & being completely out of string is the best feeling, ever!
Did you get my message? I unfortunately didn't get your message til about an hour & a half after I woke up...at noon, lol. Glad you had fun! We need a day.

Like Harry said we had a nice relaxing weekend. I had gone to the beach thursday with Damien and Mark-Anthony and got a bad burn on my shoulders even though I had spf50 on. If we had not just gotten married and had the room I would have liked to have had a party. Oh well...some day. I made an angel food cake for dessert. I covered it with whipped topping, strawberries and blueberries. Very festive. Beavertail is a great place to fly a kite! I'd like to go back, but Harry would need to drive.

Matt and I had a good fourth of July weekend as well. We went up to the campground to visit Deb and Rick, and apparently, Tim, Steph and Meghan as well.

We went clamming, ate a lot of food with clams in it, got some more clams, ate some more clams, went to the beach and brought a ton of clams home... there were a lot of clams.

This was so wonderful! Felt like I got to go, too.

Other than the Kid With a Head Trauma part, mine was pretty nice. Had some time ALONE in my apartment for the first time (yea!), spent the evening of the 4th in a way more low key way than had I gone to Lahaina with award level fireworks and four million tourists, got put in charch of preparing the steak for BBQ and hit a great combination and then I even met a VERY INTERESTING new friend (nod, nod, wink, wink) with lotsa potential.

Oh and btw - skipping over the scary part, I'm typing this from home, having retrieved my son from the hospital and am still practicing that thankful thing. ;-)
