I know it's October 5th, but just a few weeks ago I was on the beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was 80 degrees and sunny. I love autumn. Really, I do. But today it's raining and dreary and I'm missing those...
I love summer. Swimming. Playing at the park. Iced Lattes. Sunburn. Ice Cream Sandwiches. And of course, evening camp fires in the back yard, complete with S'mores. No, Adrian's not eating a S'more. So what if he was?...

We had a great time with the Graves family in the Bay Area. A few things I forgot to mention: they took us to Buena Vista for Irish Coffee and they introduced us to Dim Sum! Yum! I'm probably forgetting something else, too. Thanks, Cory...
