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.
They are tiny and devastating. It's always a good idea to split it with a few people because you really have no idea how much alcohol is even in the thing. Probably not enough to kill four adults, right? Of course not, that's why you split it up!
Right when we were about to get another round of Pina Coladas, someone walked by us on the beach selling especially potent locally-made alcoholic beach drinks called which are colloquially called Nutcrackers!

It was the first time I'd been out to Far Rock since Hurricane Sandy. Crazy to see that the entire boardwalk was completely gone and they had up fencing everywhere.
I downloaded the pics as soon as I got home and put together some edits. (Which is a big deal. Usually, it takes me around three years to post the photos I take online!). Thanks again to Jeff for having me along!
Later that afternoon, we hit the beach again. Parts of the boardwalk had been pretty badly damaged by the storm (but nothing compared with what Sandy would do 13 months later).
