Chris and I had a really lovely day at the beach today. We left early and spent hours enjoying a perfect day. We got the perfect amount of sun. The water was cold as hell though! Yesterday there were three drownings on the Jersey shore due to deadly riptides so the lifeguards were being even more vigilant than ever.

Last night we totally chilled at Lisa and Mike's, ate some great food, drank a lovely bottle of Castano Monstrell rose that was absolutely perfect for a summer evening on the porch. We also knocked back a nice bottle of Provencal rose from Chateau Calissane that we pick up from Moore Brothers. It was just one of those perfect breezy summer nights and everyone was in good form, laughing up a storm.

Tonight we're trying a local Malaysian place recommended to us by our neighbors, Jill and John. I am seriously in the mood for spice!
