heading south.

my nephew left for college yesterday.
a few weeks ago, i mentioned we would be spending the day at the beach with my him, a last hurrah before he left. the night before, i packed the car with evvvrything i could think of...playing cards, swim tubes and rafts, tricycles, scooters, books, toilet paper (beach bathrooms, you never know), sunscreen, hats, jogging stroller, sketchers shape-ups,
and my book, to name a few.
we got to ala moana beach by 8am, and the parking lot was already full...can you believe that?
anyways, it was a great day with tons of good eats. i took mini-he out on the board first thing in the morning, then we spent the remainder of the day riding that darn scooter.
i was able to get a walk in and managed to read a couple of pages in my book, though.

my sister and hubs flew my nephew up to oregon to get him settled this weekend. it must be nerve-wracking
when the little ones fly the coop, but i guess you can't
protect them forever.


(swimsuit, bcbg; mesh top, local store (similar); shorts, f21 (similar))
this was the most humongous marshmallow i have ever seen.
made for good s'mores, though!
can you guess which board is mine?

Looks like a great time! I don't have any neices or nephews on my side but I have plenty on my husbands side (I'm already a Great Aunt!) so it was so weird when my neice - who I met when she was 8 - shipped off to college 1 year ago, it's exciting, it's scary, it makes you feel old - lol! I can't even imagine shipping my girl off in 15 years -eek!

I swear we made smores last night. I also swear they did not look as good as yours. Sigh.

You look totally beach-chic. Can I scooter with you, please?? It looks super fun, and I'm pretty sure that we would have some awesome adventures together.

Wish I could still wear my summer clothes! Unfortunately the wardrobe transition to Autumn/Winter wear has taken place given that we barely experience Summer here! :(

Looks like you had a great time, love the picture of you on the scooter haha!

Hitting the beach at 8am seems almost obscenely early to me hah. Wow, Oregon seems SO FAR from Hawaii! And my dad complained when I was a whole 5 hour car drive away...

Molliee said...

Joellen said...

that crochet top is amazing!

Do those lacy coverups result in a weird tan?
