HALLELUJAH EIGHTY AND SUNNY!
Information pertinent to this post: I think the Rockaways might be my favorite beach near the city to visit, the Rockaway Taco place is closed this year (all year! and I still have never had one of their fish tacos!) and that up there is Castle Black. You know. Gotta protect the beach from those free people to the north, not to mention those White Walkers Waves.
Umm.
But Anna Bow was a pretty good substitute. Breakfast burritos? 97th Street!
AND PINEAPPLE JUICE.
We are so grateful for our friends. The ones with cars who are also hair stylists + authors and who have fun ideas for salt-water themed hair photo shoots + think for some reason my hair might be decent enough to participate (that'd be you, Rubi) and the ones named Isabelle who I don't get to see often enough and who is so freaking beautiful and talented with her camera not to mention wonderful as a person and I miss her and Nashville, you are a jerk for taking her.
And a shout out to Sir Henrius Holbrookius, who was just the perfect gentleman all day long. I sometimes can't believe what a wonderful pal he is turning into. Well, he always has been, but it just keeps going. Willing to eat what everyone else wanted to eat, patient when the work needed to go down, hella fun when the play got to happen, and a source of stimulating conversation the entire time we were stuck in traffic.
We now know everything there is to know about sharks, including which colors they are (blue, gray) and which colors they are not (polka dot) (dang it). Thanks, Huck!
The Rockaways really do win though. The azure of the sky next to the tan of the sand next to the newly painted buildings on the board walk next to those rocking first aid stations . . . the whole day felt like a beautiful post card.
(Rough sand though, pack your good sandals.)
We've got a really good collection of these shells going in a jar on Huck's dresser by now. Oh summer!
Sigh. Beautiful day, lucky ducks. I think for future reference this one is definitely worth the subway ride out there.
Huck later that night:
Don't you love that?
That top photo is absolutely gorgeous! I can't get over how blue the sky looks.
