Fourth of July Weekend we took a long train ride down to Rockaway Beach (which is technically in Queens, although seems like it should be Brooklyn) to enjoy some sunshine and salt water. It's rough "swimming" in the ocean after growing up with the great lakes all around you but the water was still nice and a great temperature. Sean and I both came home with bad sunburns and I have resolved that the next time I go to a beach, I will purchase an umbrella and big straw hat in advance. Sunscreen doesn't seem to cut it!
This past weekend Jocelyn and I decided we should have my birthday "re-do" since Sean and I weren't in NYC to celebrate my actual birthday. We had dinner and lots of wine on tap with Jocelyn and Cory at my favorite Astoria restaurant, Vesta. Sean was super excited to see that the cat themed bathroom paintings were still up (we first saw them in February when Monica and John were visiting) and were not rotating art like the other pieces in the restaurant. Our favorite is Beloved Snowy, who stares at you while you use the bathroom and try not to laugh.
Sean also got me an awesome re-do birthday present, a new Kindle! I left mine on a Delta flight to Michigan two weeks ago and no one turned it in. I find that pretty depressing, since I know the first thing I would do if I found an electronic in my seatback was try to get it to Lost and Found. Now I have a brand new one with the exact same New Yorker case coming in the mail soon. Sean's happy that I will stop stealing his now!
