We finally put Jarrod's mad basketball skills to good use a couple weekends ago. If you remember for Jarrod's Christmas present I got him tickets to a blazer game... where he won us a trip (you can refresh you memory here). We invited some of our friends to this super cool beach house we rented. Growing up a lot of people loose touch with old friends because it's so hard to get caught up in life... We are lucky enough to have some amazing people around us and couldn't have asked for a better trip... with just a few hiccups (Lou almost drowning, Alyssa's iphone getting washed out to sea and Meagan chipping her tooth on a beer bottle) it was an amazing time with AMAZING friends. Some of the positive memories I will keep forever (Anna trying to use a jet-tub, celebrating Jake's birthday, winning at the craps table with Noel and Alyssa... and having a hard time finding the perfect slot machines, getting introduced to Rummikub, becoming a pro at flip-cup, all of the Big Foot stories and watching Jake and Jordan play drinking games with chocolate milk). Times like these keep me grounded about what's important in life... nothing beats a good beach trip with friends.
