adventures in weekending: peconic bay getaway

Bob and I spent part of last weekend at his uncle's rented beach house in Peconic Bay. Or rather, we spent most of it on a private stretch of beach just a short walk away. And it was bliss. What a nice change from the overcrowded beaches of Brooklyn or the Jersey shore.

Perfect for rock and seashell hunting. Not so perfect for walking around with bare feet.

The beach always reminds me that going makeup-free and letting my hair be in its natural wavy state is okay!

Calm waters that represented my state of mind.

A quick dip for an instant refresher in 100+ degree weather!

We were snapping pics all day.

I love the feeling of sinking toes in wet sand.
