I made it down to DC in time to surprise Max by picking him at at school with Amy. On Saturday I hopped in my trucked... Got all bundled up and trudged up to... Took an afternoon snack-run with my favorite lil lizard murdered... Running errands with the ween on Wednesday. ...and headed back east in my zip car. Tuomo drove me to the airport and we said farewell! Pulled over to take a flowery photo! After I headed back to my hotel for a nap and to get dressed for the wedding! At 3pm I headed back over to the ferry. Matt, Jane & Grant Waiting for the subway home. Later that afternoon I went shopping for an outfit for an upcoming costume-themed party called "THE FUTURE" at The Hacienda. On the way home... We have a tradition each year where we like to see how late in the year we can go to the beach. Met up with Grant at the Tompkins crescent of benches (The Crez) ...and puff a little morning doober. Handsomest techs in the biz. On the way back I took this picture when I had the thought "Oh shit, I think I'm going to buy this place." LOL. (Took me 8 months of thinking about it...but I eventually pulled the trigger in April of the following year!) Bow Lake buds. ...for an afternoon of sauna and cold ice-pool plunges! Happy March 2016! Jared came over and got cheeee-ill with my Kasina mind machine 2016 First pictures of the year! 2016, baby! We loaded up the van and headed over to see Watkins Glen Gorge Trail ...then met up with this one... It uses strobing lights that are synched with binaural-beat music in order to case different states of NEURAL ENTRAINMENT. Got my winter gear on! Congrats Ellen & Hans - I love you both! After one last drink... Got to see this guy (whose birthday is just 4 days later!) Party Omen! We found found broken glasses. Later that afternoon we walked down to Chinatown. On Monday afternoon, I said farewell to Brett and Amy... Family beach picture. Portrait of a dog-walker. Called my dad from a beach side payphone to wish him a happy birthday! Nerding out so hard. Such an amazing place to visit. The car drove me a bit up the road on the other side of the river... Sunset selfie! Met up with these two for lunch on St. Marks. We decided to try to put all of our troubles aside for the day and head out into NYC to do something new and fun. We decided to walk north... Happy birthday, Leigh! 50% sunglasses coverage and pasta from home? BEACHFAIL! We took the A out to Beach 66. Happy birthday, Cynthia! Me, Mer and Quinn in the back. ...then met up with this guy to catch the... Not a bad way to spend a Friday. Brothers! After finishing up work in the morning, I had the afternoon free. Meredith and I decided to walk up Ave C... Great Adventure, here we come! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GURJEET! I love you! We scored some ice coffees, walked up the street, scored our Zipcar... We got up super early on Wednesday morning and walked down to the beach... A little later that afternoon, we rented a scooter and drove over to... On Monday morning we checked out of our hotel and got ready for another long travel day to Alona Beach on Panglao Island, the site of Aileen and Ryan's wedding at the end of the week! Here's me with a Buddha on the beach. As we got further north, the bus cleared out until we were the only people left on it. ...make a new travel buddy! Like this sleepy little abuela who spent most of the bus ride bouncing her tiny snoozing noggin against my shoulder. Haha. Adorable. Grant and I got up early on Sunday, picked up a ZipCar around the corner from my place... Early on Monday morning, Grant arrived on the red eye from Vancouver. He dropped his bag off at our apt and we... Headed back home! I catastrophically broke my sunglasses during lunch. Not a big deal except that I am basically blind in any kind of bright light without them. Wah-wah. Hold on tight! Sunday was our last day out in Rockaway! Beach was still pretty sweet, though. We headed over to the beach to survey the damage... Ice cream break! One thing about living near the beach, no matter how much you sweep and vacuum, there will always be lots of sand. ...with no hands! It was really hot and sunny... ...we walked to the beach! Birthday family portrait. Really doesn't take all that much to make me happy. On Monday we met up at Cynthia's to go to the beach. She even let me drive her fun car! On Sunday I spent the morning hanging out with Grandma on the back porch. (I found out she had a sister that I never knew about that passed away when she was in her late twenties!) ...to spend some time with the fam. Related much? No cameras, please! Hahaha. Dog shades? Getting ready for the beach... I met up with Meredith and she gave me... That feeling when you're driving home and you can still feel the waves moving under you. XO! Take us away, Catrinel! Hey what are you doing later this weekend? ...Four! Here, I'll hold them in place with my head! Summer lovelies! Sexy neck-growth? Getting ready to pack it up. Beach bunnies.
