This post is a mish-mash of the entire end of summer, including my birthday, Labor Day weekend, and what evidence exists at this point of my bachelorette party. First, a summary:
The clips featured include a "Cracker" concert at the 31st St. stage where we saw "The Dude" abide, followed by the Pat Benatar concert we attempted to sneak into. The remaining clips are from the bachelorette party including a "dance off" at Chicks, Melissa getting her groove on, and our new friend and sponsor of "girl's night", "Thriller" himself.
Some other details...
I had my wedding hair trial run. You can get the gist from this.
We spent the end of August enjoying some gorgeous and cooler summer weather. Here are some of Raf's best, including some cloud shots, a fanny pack on the beach, Brynn's creation, and my favorite... Hot Dad:
We had a few people over for my birthday. The only evidence is the empty punch bowl. Raf made us some delicious fruit punch and we spent the evening playing our new Guitar Hero, courtesy of my mom and Greg for our shower gift.
On my actual birthday, I woke up to a lovely sweet potato pancake and assorted fruit breakfast.
We took our leftover punch to the beach with the Psimases. I wish I could share with you an additional video of mother ingenuity taken because we were at the North End and there were no bathrooms, but I was explicitly told not to!
Here was my birthday dinner:
On Labor Day weekend, we went to see a few bands at the oceanfront. This was one of our favorite shots of the weekend:
Then.... summer ended and school began, but we didn't let that stop us. Saturday, Karen, Haylie, and I rode our bikes to the oceanfront on a gorgeous summer-like evening. We met Janet, Melissa, and Elizabeth at Waterman's for a crush.
This began the "scavenger hunt" inspired by the Game of Things.
