long weekend

hello friends.

i'm exhausted. so this is going to be short. i had a long and wonderful day down at rohobeth beach- where i took a day trip for the second weekend in a row with autumn. although this time aaron got in on the fun!
we left bright and early at 745am, got down to the beach sometime around 10ish (? i wasn't paying attention actually- but i know i was in the ocean by 11am). we spent most of the day on the beach, lying around, walking on the boardwalk, and taking some quick jaunts into the waves (the water was freezing!!)
then we headed to aaron's aunt hildy's house (hildy? hilde? how do i not know how to spell this name?) which is in rohobeth, and i guess is her eventual retirement house that she currently uses with her 15 year old daughter as a summer/beach home. its beautiful. and she was super nice and welcoming. they had other friends staying for the long weekend, and we all ate a delicious dinner of salad and pasta, then sat around the table for a while talking about various things like tv, education, aaron's family, etc. all the good stuff ;)
we left around 10 and got back into philly around midnight- so here i am!

i bought this new sunscreen at cvs yesterday- neutrogena spray- its spf85 (!). and it was really quite handy. i reapplied frequently, and it was nice not to have to get my hands all goopy with the regular lotion. i could just point and spray and feel protected. and as far as i know- i didn't get any burns!! (of course, the fact that we rented an umbrella for the afternoon and i promptly fell asleep under it probably also lowered my chances for burning significantly...)

anyway, i am wiped out. being in the ocean and at the beach in general will do this- so i'm off to bed! sleeping in tomorrow!! thank god for long weekends....
