Beach Day

My friend Cassy is visiting Virginia Beach for the weekend. She loves the beach, whereas I go maybe once a year (usually because she's here and wants to go) even though I live a few minutes from it. So today, we visited the beach! (First we went to the DMV but that was not fun.)

This was supposed to have dolphins in the water behind Stella, but I think I missed them.


Stella says: "Don't forget your sunscreen!"

Ah, right at home for a wee little octopus! Sun, sand, and surf.

In the shade under the umbrella!

Cassy needed to submit a photo to her book of the month club
using this silly straw and their book of the month! (I actually was
reading the book, because I forgot to bring one with me,
and it's really good so far!)

Cassy shared the book with me, so I shared with Stella!

Making new friends with Cassy!

They're so silly.
We had a great time at the beach! We planned to leave around 2-2:30, and we heard the first rumbles of thunder at 2:20, so that was perfect timing!

Game of Thrones

Most weeks during the Game of Thrones season, I go over to a friend's house and we have dinner and drinks and watch the show. (During the off-season, we're less regular about it, but we play board games and whatnot.)

Ommegang makes a new beer for each season.
We stopped at the store on the way there and got the
LAST BOTTLE of Seven Kingdoms on the shelf!
The little Stella-sized glass behind her is homemade
mead by one of our friends.

Adam usually makes the beef and bacon pie
from the Game of Thrones cookbook
for the first episode of the season! Delicious!
