Things have been quiet on the blog lately as I’ve been off gallivanting in Hawaii for the past week or so. I know, I know… my life is so hard! But seriously, it’s been awesome to get away for some rest, relaxation, and much needed sunshine. My husband and I are also celebrating our 10-year anniversary (I CANNOT believe it’s been that long!). Stay tuned for more pics from my trip and a full vacation recap coming your way soon.

In the mean time, can we talk about my new bathing suit and how it makes me look like I actually have a waistline?! Trust me, I don’t… especially after a long hard winter full of lots of hot chocolate and macaroni and cheese. Optical illusions aside, I’m completely in love with it. It’s been years since I’ve worn a one-piece, and now I might be a convert. I also picked up a couple of these cute little kimonos from Forever 21 to wear as coverups, and I can’t wait to pick out a few more for summer.

Since the 4th of July falls oh-so-inconveniently on Wednesday this year, Eric and I decided to sneak in a little weekend getaway to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard.  It was so nice to relax on the water, catch some sun, and gorge on delicious seafood.  Speaking of seafood… check out the clambake I ordered:

Yep, that definitely went down.  Eating a whole lobster used to give me pause, but YouTube has definitely been my friend in helping me conquer the crustacean.  This video in particular gives my favorite no-frills, quick-and-dirty rundown on how to de-shell a lobster like a champ.  Enjoy!

Just a few last pics from my southern adventure…

We took these shots during a late afternoon stroll along the riverfront.  Now some folks may prefer to do their sightseeing in shorts and tennis shoes, but I’ll take a cute dress and sandals any day!  I tossed this little cardigan in my bag as an afterthought, but I wound up really digging the super-hero color combo.  It kinda reminds me of a pair of supergirl pajamas I had as a kid (minus the detachable cape).
