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.

Facing east!

And check out the amazing view we had of the totally private (and deserted!) beach! Here's the view facing west!

...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.)

Meredith took a nap of the beach: face down and covered in a towel. Hahaha.

We came back from our swim to find Siege, KT and Mer in the midst of a heated game of beach Scrabble.

The post-procedural patient. Hahaha. Meredith had read that if the whack was successful and the cyst had been ruptured, it would take a few days to for it to go away. Nothing to do but wait! (Spoiler: the cyst didn't go away).

Meredith, Nina and KT.

"....3!" WHAM! Nina didn't hold back AT ALL! (BTW, check out Nina's face, you can totally tell how much effort she put into her swing! Hahaha).

Here's Nina taking a few practice swings to line up her shot. "Ready? 1...2...."
meredith + beach
Hahahah. And then he took this amazing photo of us jumping! (Meredith looks like a frog!)

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.

Awwwww.

The next morning, we got up bright and early and drove down to my parent's little shore house in Beach Haven West. After dropping off our bags, we grabbed some towels and headed to the beach on Long Beach Island.

Whoa, I'm actually awake on the beach here! How'd that happen?
meredith + beach
Oooh-la-la!
meredith + beach
Swimming in the ocean + Falling asleep with wet hair = BEACH HAIR!
meredith + beach
Then we pretty much did all the normal beach stuff. You know, swimming, reading, napping, Scrabble playing...

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...

...swipe it from me just a few minutes later.

Squinty Fatty and Meredith.

We took a swim, and about, ooooh, about eight minutes after our heads hit the sand...
meredith + beach
Squinty!
meredith + beach
Pretty!

Tuesday morning we woke up and headed to the airport to catch our flight back to NYC...but not before we pulled over for a little "beach one more time" detour en route.

Hey, most of you being smarter than me probably already know this, but just in case any of you out there are as dumb as me, here's a little factoid for you: the Pacific Ocean is FUCKING FREEZING! WTF?? You can't swim in there! Here's a picture of Meredith getting the soles of her feet wet moments before screaming and running back to dry land. Damn. That shit was so hold it felt hot! Like and ocean of lava. Fack!
meredith + beach
...pack it up and head home.
meredith + beach
Me, doggy-shaking my hair dry.

She don't look sick to me.

Jones Beach rules. And it's practically empty on weekdays.

Meredith, being of the fair-skinned persuation, lotioned up with full-on sunblock (including a little dollop for where her hair parts so that her scalp wouldn't burn).

Meredith, David, Grant, Rachel and Miye.
