Random Summer Pictures

You can kind of see New York City in the distance. It was super hot and the water was nice and cool.

A handsome man was swimming to stay cool. I was too much of a wimp to take a direct photo of him.

Beautiful sail boat slowly floating along. I absolutely love sailing. It's so relaxing when the wind it some what calm and there's not motor just the sound of the boat cutting through the water. I love it.

But then of course there's the type of sailing where you're going super fast and a huge angle and the boat is completely tilted, that can be really fun too!

Makes me want to go sailing now.

National Parks

I absolutely LOVE National Parks. Yellowstone has to be my favorite, but it's really hard to have a favorite considering there's the Grand Canyon, and Glacier National Park and Zion and Yosemite and Petrified Forest... Yesh, okay maybe I just love them all!

This is a waterfall we hiked to in Yellowstone.


I've really been in the mood to go to a National Park so I wanted to see what was available near me. Most big National Parks seem to be towards the west coast, but I did find one on the list, Acadia. Acadia is in Maine, which really isn't that close to me, however, it's a lot closer to me now that I live in New Jersey. I have never been to Maine but I've always wanted to go and what a great way to visit by checking out their Parks!

This is a time a camper van would be awesome because stopping along the way or checking out the smaller parks would be awesome, but tenting it is fun cause then you can hear all the scary creatures running around outside. haha My sister freaked me out on one camping trip. On another camping trip we could hear coyotes howling at night. One cool thing about being so far north is having the light of day last forever. I love that about summer time in the northern most states.

Well hopefully this trip will come together and I can get some great pictures to share.

Any National Parks you can think of that you enjoy??

How about National Monuments? Mt Rushmore is an amazing thing to see, it's off the highway quite a ways, but I think it's worth seeing and learning about it.

Wedge Season is Approaching!

My favorite shoes to wear in the summer are wedges. Wedges are easier to walk in the heels and they give you height and a nice leg line and they show off your beautifully pedicured toes! I'm looking in magazines and catalogs and all the wedges are staring me in the face. Believe me I have plenty of shoes, what do I need more for? I can look though right? These are the shoes I'm lusting after right now. Seychelles 'How do you do' wedges. I love the color along with the polka dots and the cute T-strap ruffles down the front. I hardly ever wear yellow, but it could go with turquoise, pink, purple, blue...anything really.

I actually really like this brand of wedge. These are the shoes I bought two years ago and they are still in great shape.

They have a similar shoe out this season. I love the pewter color. These are called 'Midas Touch'

I also like these TOMS called 'Cruz'. I have yet to own a pair of these shoes, but I'm really liking these wedges. They look comfortable and fun and give a little bit of height.

And for a more dressy looking wedge I like Ivanka Trump's 'Brisa' wedges. And I also like these Michael Kors 'Vivian' wedges pictured here! There are a little more expensive, but I think they're beautiful.

But for today, I'm wearing my tennis shoes because it's a gloomy first day of April and it's 51 degrees. Hope you don't get April Fooled, on this first day of April!
