Reminds me of an episode of Northern Exposure where the guy who eventually plays Aiden on Sex and the City decks out Cicely, AK in thousands and thousands of lights. Hmm... this might not sound like high praise, but.. it is. Check it. You tell 'em Aiden.

Best Advice I've Received in Awhile

This made me laugh out loud::

Bringing a full-on garden shovel to the beach
If you're heading to the sand, and at least one in your party is under 9, then you're making a sand castle. Bring a real shovel. Square-headed are best, but no matter, stop dicking around with the little plastic ones. You'd be surprised how few come prepared, and how many want to borrow yours

Had my last few days on the boat, and will post some pics soon! Getting SO excited about Virginia, and getting myself prepared to get down there.

Love to you all!
