SILVER SANDS BEACH

This is the beach that is five minutes away from us, it is called Silver Sands State Beach.  The water was cold, but not anything that you couldn't get use to after a while.  We played Frisbee in the water...trying to make each other layout for it and get all wet :)  We read in our awesome loungers as the sunset, then we went to the grocery store and got some essentials and cleaning supplies. Seth was off to work the next morning, and I was on my cleaning and unpacking tour.  I made hamburger helper that night (that is what Seth wanted....crazy) I thought that I could handle that....so....I was like why is the sauce not thicken up once it cools....couldn't figure it out. Finally I read carefully, I never brought it to a boil...duh?  So a Seth didn't get dinner until really late that night:) I might as well get it all out there now....Last night we didn't get in until late and we popped in a frozen pizza, yeah I cooked it with the cardboard underneath...duh??  But, I did make a coffee cake today that is incredible, it was a recipe from Grandma Clara from my wedding shower :) Getting to use that OVEN!!!!! Woot Woot! :)

Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana

We are standing outside a pizza joint that claims to be the first in the United States. When we got there on a Monday afternoon....there was a good thirty or more people standing outside the door trying to get into this pizza place....we had time to burn and were excited we picked a place so popular!  They cook their pizza in the oven that was built over 85 years ago, and sell the same bottled soda pop that they sold when the opened....that is all they offer to eat on the menu (salad was just added the waitress said).  The pizza was very good (Dad you would have loved the crispy crust, you could see the charcoal marks on the bottom of the Pizza...good flavor), and you could tell that they used fresh ingredients. We would compare it to a Rocco's style pizza, but with better prices and bigger portions....can you believe that???

Happy Fourth of July Connecticut!!!

Well...I am starting the official blogging as of today! I hope to get you caught up on what has gone on for the past week or so. 

 Our trip out here went very smooth, our only complaints were that Pennsylvania made us pay like 13.00 for a toll road (stay away from the green interstates on the map...:)  And our GPS told us to merge left, but we were supposed to merge right and pay for another toll road, but we ended up going through the fast pass line, I really hope we don't get a ticket for that :(  But, I can't get mad at the GPS....that thing is a lifesaver, it makes traveling so stress-free and enjoyable!  Seth got to see the New York City skyline, and we drove the interstate through the Bronx area.  We stayed in Columbus, Ohio the first night, and Milford, CT the second night. Milford is where we are living, we just couldn't get into our place because the owners were out of town on vacation for the holiday.  We drove around and checked out the town and ate sushi, then I watched fireworks from our window and on TV while I was finishing up that week of homework. 

ON THE ROAD AGAIN....ON THE ROAD AGAIN

We have started our journey to Connecticut, we drove eleven hours today and made it to Columbus, Ohio!  We will make it to our destination tomorrow, and we will get you posted on our new crib:)  Happy Fourth of July!!!

YOU CAN CALL US UNCLE SETH & AUNTIE BROOKE!!!

Seth and I extended our stay at home in hopes to see our new baby niece....Hope Bethella Garrison! She was born at 3:05am on June 16th...perfect timing!  She is just darling and definitely worth the wait!  We have put in for some different assignments now....we are just waiting for a call to see where we head off to next!  We are getting really excited for our next adventure, but have thoroughly enjoyed our time at home....we just love Republic (it is our favorite) :)  We will keep you all posted about our next assignment!

WE ARE STARTING TO PACK....

Well, the time has come to start packing for our trip back home! (Yes, Josh Agee I AM going to practice packing...haha) We are banning ourselves from the grocery store, we are trying to get creative with what is left in the fridge.  I just got done making some Royal and Color Flow icing for my last cake decorating classes today and tomorrow :( Today was Seth's last Wednesday of work at Eden, so the count down is so on! My final expensive loads of laundry are developing and will soon be done! I am hoping to have a good grasp on our packing by Friday, because we are going to spend the weekend with Sue and Aunt Billie. Seth's last day is Monday and then we head out early Tuesday morning! See you all soon!

TELEGRAPH HILL / NORTH BEACH / GOLDEN GATE PARK

View of the gorgeous Golden Gate Bridge from a beach off of the Golden Gate Park. This is your postcard picture!                This is the view from the top of the Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill. It was a rainy day in the city, but we loved the view! It was a good way to get your sense of direction of the city!

This is the top of Coit Tower, it was built during the Great Depression from donated money.  You can see this tower from the Fisherman's Wharf. San Fran skylineWe made a special trip to Chinatown
