At the beginning of the summer, I looked at my August calendar and got nervous. My summer job with the NYC Teaching Fellows was ending August 6 and I had to be back in action on August 26 (also my mom’s birthday, for the record). In my head, that didn’t seem like enough time to “unwind” and really “recharge” before the school year started up.
I was wrong. It is perfect.
Between Avalon, Philadelphia and New York, I have been running around town lately. It’s pretty awesome. Actually, the term “running” makes it seem like I’ve been doing things and being active. I have not. I have been a complete vegetable with the exception of two dinners I cooked – dinners that did not seem blog worthy, mostly because I didn’t think of it – and the occasional work out.
Anyway, I am at the shore and it is gorgeous. Avalon in late August is something else all together. And to prove it, I have the pictures.
Sunset last night, off the back deck, one of the few times I wish we lived on the bay.
Sunrise this morning.
I woke up just before the sun hit the horizon and ran down the boardwalk with my camera. I aim for comfort when it comes to sleeping attire, and disregard coordination of any kind all together. To that end, I had on an enormous navy hoodie and lavender and white striped CROPPED pajama pants. If you know me, you’ve seen what my hair can do in the morning, too. The lovely couple who had come for the same sunrise picture were nice enough to ignore me.
I slept with the windows open last night and woke up freezing this morning. Fall is definitely coming.
