Everything You Missed!





First of all, HAPPY SUMMER! Sorry I haven't posted much -- the month of June is nonstop busy for us. Now we're headed to beautiful Cape May for some major relaxation. It's definitely become a favorite vacation spot, and this year we'll be joined by cousins Sid, Lily and Mason. Woohoo! Stay tuned for beach reports. In the meantime... here's a peek into our last few weeks, according to iPhone and Instagram.
