Random trips to see the rents always bring a smile to my face. Give me a full day of Mom’s home cooked meals and Dad’s fun stories, and I just can’t get enough. Can someone just invent a small teleportation device that transports me to them at least once a week because this driving back and forth thing is a little exhausting. Don’t get me wrong, six and a half hours is not too bad. However, the drive can get a little overwhelming, especially on a three day trip. That’s 13 hours in a car, but hey…they are worth it! 🙂

Friday after work, I hopped in my car and took a trip to see my parents in Hertford, NC. Now, I haven’t been down there since April, so this trip was way overdue! As soon as I got there, I received a warm greeting from the rents, and they took me over to their favorite local restaurant for dinner. It was really delicious (No sure if I was caught up in the positive vibes or I was just hungry though)! I think I ordered a tuna wrap. You know I love a  good wrap!

Back at the crib, Mom, of course, had some new decor to show off for the house. I guess she was going for a Moroccan theme, because everything is so exotic, yet elegant. All the shades of red, orange, and yellow really set off the warm color palette. She always does a great job (She thinks she is a little interior designer 🙂 )!

Overall, I had a great weekend with the fam. It was so relaxing and fun! So much peace and quiet. I love my life here in New Jersey though, and had to get back to the real world.

Catch you later in the week,

Due to some unusual circumstances, I haven’t been to the beach all summer. I know, it’s pretty ridiculous, but it’s life. Needless to say, Mo and I had a chance to grab our beach towels and hit the Jersey Shore. More specifically, Long Beach Island. Located along the eastern coast of New Jersey, Long Beach Island is a very chill spot. Let’s be honest, when you don’t have a boardwalk filled with ferris wheels, funnel cakes, and bars, the only sounds are the waves hitting the sand. Aside from the 97 degree weather, this was the perfect way to end the month of August. Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to hit the shore a few more times next summer. In the meantime, enjoy some of these random moments with my Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Polaroid camera. We took a lot of photos so the following are just a few highlights. Have you been on any beach trips this summer? Let’s chat about it in the comments section below.

Talk to you soon,
