appears with…

best + beach — Day 5: Woke up early and enjoyed coffee on the porch...

best + beach — I love this photo! <3. My sister from another mister.

best + beach — Jared saw this photo and said "I look like a guy who hangs out in the parking lot and deals weed to the high school kids in my hometown." lol

best + beach — Puffed my lil weed pen and listened along from our balcony of privilege...

best + beach — We probably only lasted about 60 seconds or so, but we got in all the way and that's what counts! The Dude even got in a bit with us to make sure we were going to be alright! Maddy barked and barked from the warm safety of the sand.

best + beach — Here we gooooo

best + beach — The Dude running after us barking is the best.

best + beach — Give it back!

best + beach — Bealls & Battjers!

best + beach

best + beach — Amanda, Leigh & Kim all have the same birthday! This mega-birthday extravaganza kicked off with Amanda's birthday out at Rockaway! Here's the birthday girl along with fellow beach heartbreakers, Naomi & Astra.

best + beach — ...turned into tiny beach path! It was so much fun to ride under palm fronds right at the water's edge.

best + beach — This sign is another example of something I found really charming about Belize. They're an English colony and English is the official language, but a lot of the signs there phonetically spell out the local pronunciations of words! SO GOOD!

best + beach — He ended up drawing a crowd. Haha.

best + beach — The bark like dogs when they're out of the water. Look at his gorgeous fin.

best + beach — ...we ran into pack of beach puppies!

best + beach — One of the prettiest sunsets I've ever seen!

best + beach — What a shithole!

best + beach — Meredith and Amanda out in the unreal, bath-warm water.

best + beach — Nothing like building a fire so well that you can't sit around it! Haha.

best + beach — ...you guessed it!

best + beach — Ladder up!

best + beach — Vins' portrait of me.

best + beach — It was really hot and sunny...

best + beach — Haha. I love this photo so much.

best + beach — XO!

best + beach — ...Four!

best + beach — Look at the monstrosity of a jellyfish that washed up on the shore! Eeeeek! I dare you to touch it!

best + beach — Better than work.

best + beach — Beach uke babe.

best + beach — Beach bunnies.

best + beach — Peter Pan?

best + beach — Jared and the Sea. <3

best + beach — Double-fisting treats! <3

best + beach — A wonderfully pine-crackling way to welcome the new year!

best + beach — Around 3am, we ran out of firewood and someone got the bright idea to round up a bunch of Christmas trees that were left by the side of the road and bring them down to the beach! MORE FIRE!

best + beach — KABLOOEY!

best + beach — During low tide, we decided to explore the beach in the other direction.

best + beach — We saw the birds were centered above a boat of fisherman that had just come ashore.

best + beach — Parked right up on the beach.

best + beach — The next day, I got to see Florida's panhandle coast in the sun for the very first time. It is one of the nicest beaches I've ever seen.

best + beach — ...the beach!

best + beach — The dreaded birthday ass-vice!

best + beach — I love this picture! Thanks for being my boo, boo.

best + beach — Knit bikini!

best + beach — Beach poses!

best + beach — Christina found a whole crab. It's striped lega are so beautiful...

best + beach — Pinchy!

best + beach — All-star jump cast. Three photos in under 30 seconds!

best + beach — REAL MONKEYS! Check out our first customer! Monkey's just so maxed and relaxed! As we got closer to the temple, monkeys were everywhere! We were strolling along the beach holding bags of "monkey treats" that we'd purchased from the locals when suddenly, a large male monkey walked up to us and started reaching up to grab Mer's bag of monkey treats. Meredith tried to play keep away, but the monkey launched himself into the air, landed on her chest, held onto Mer's waist with HIS MONKEY FEET (!!!) and then used his super-monkey-strength to rip the bag of monkey treats out of her hands! TREAT-MUGGED BY A MONKEY!

Right after the mugging, the locals saw us struggling to defend ourselves against a pack of monkeys encroaching on our space intent to steal our second bag of monkey treats and they started waving at us and showing us that we should pantomime like we have rocks to throw or slingshots in our hands and the pantomime totally scared the monkeys away! Good looking out, locals! Thanks!

best + beach — The beach they were at was considerably more crowded!

best + beach — Once more with Bob falling down!

best + beach — ...which led to a huge impromptu party sesh on the beach!

best + beach — 7 out of 10!

best + beach — A couple minutes later, the rest of our group returned from a walk and decided to get in the mix. Going for 10!

best + beach — 5 out of 7! Getting there!

best + beach — Take three! If you squint, it looks like they're spelling out S-H-I-T!

best + beach — Take Four is my favorite! Everyone's doing their own thing.

best + beach — Take Three! Meredith got tangled up in her cape. Haha.

best + beach — Take Two. Total FAIL. But check out Gurj almost perfectly miming her exact pose and expression as the first take!

best + beach — ....obligatory photos of everyone jumping at the beach! Yay! Take One: Gurj, Scott and Amanda have amazing form in this pic. Sarah, however, failed to achieve lift off.

best + beach — The weather held, but about 90 minutes later, thing got DRAMATIC!

best + beach — Climbing up on top of the (very slippery!) jetty.

best + beach — The sunset was awesome.

best + beach — Skipping down to the jetty.

best + beach — Around 4:30, we made our way down onto the beach to watch the amazing winter sunset. Here's Shane, Sylvie and Tim. I love these pics so much!

best + beach — And here's a picture of my armpit thrown in to sex it up a bit.

best + beach — ...of everybody jumping in the air! Hahaha. Too bad the flash blacked-out the hotel in the background. (And I to censor Mer's hoohah!)

best + beach — Around 3pm we decided to pack it up, but not before I tried to take a sweet photo of the two of us together and Meredith made this totally amazing face behind my back. Hahaha. I love how it looks like she's actually licking my shoulder.

best + beach — ...and we teamed up for this incredibly hot photo. (I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to let you in on a huge secret: WE ARE HUGE FUCKING DORKS.)

best + beach — Hahahah. And then he took this amazing photo of us jumping! (Meredith looks like a frog!)

best + beach — And Siege snapped a few funny pics of Mer and I goofing around on the beach with his fancy cam. (Thanks for sending these over, Siege!). Here's our impression of that old Coppertone advertisement where a little dog is tugging at a girl's bathing suit.

best + beach — Oooh-la-la!

best + beach — Later on, I got everybody to get up and do a jump take for my camera. They got it perfect on the first try. Every time I'm having a crappy day, I can look at this pick and it will instantly make me laugh my ass off. Everybody is pulling great faces too (click here for hi-rez version). But the very best thing about this photo is...

best + beach — ...swipe it from me just a few minutes later.

best + beach — Meredith, David, Grant, Rachel and Miye.

best + beach — After the rock jumping photo session, Grant asked if I'd take some Bay Watchesque portraits of him.

best + beach — Look! It's Count Beachula! The friendly, seashell-fanged gay vampire!

the fourth of july

July 04, 2003

best + beach — See? Nobody's there! This beach is literally a 15 minute drive from Manhattan, can you believe that?!?

best + beach — We promptly busied ourselves turning him into a sand-bodied hermaphrodite; complete with boobies and a sand-crafted cockn'ballz. (Yep, we are mature.)

best + beach — Day Six: One of the bartenders at our resort was originally from Boston. He and his girlfriend randomly decided one day to pack up everything and move to St. Thomas. They offered to take us and some other couples a little older than us out to one of the local beaches that day and we gladly accepted.

best + beach — Here's a pic overlooking the practically deserted beach we ended up going to.

best + beach — Down on the same beach seen in the pic above.
