...is being able to come back to visit when the city gets to you! After teaching summer school for my first and LAST year ever I decided to come out to my parents house on Long Island to relax for an entire week (I'm telling you, even though I teach 1st grade..summer school was enough to make me need MORE than a week of resting!) Something about Long Island in the summer is so calming to me. It brings back memories of getting dropped off at the beach at 8 am on my mom's way to work and being picked up again at 6 pm on her way back home. God what I would do to be 12 again!
This is my parents' backyard and our boat. It is exactly what I need to get the craziness of the city out of my system for a few days! Although don't kid yourself... after being woken up by my step-dad at 6am to see if I want to go fishing a few mornings in a row, I'm sure I'll be running back to the next train to Penn Station- haha! ahhh for now I'll enjoy it.
