The Perfect Summer Day

We made a little visit to New Jersey over the weekend to visit Derek's family and friends and I also got to enjoy an ideal summer day consisting of many of my favorite things including a visit to one of my best gal's houses.  On Saturday, Derek and I both did our favorite things - he golfed and I pool lounged.

I call it the perfect summer day because it was just that - it was what I envision when I think of summer.  Pool time, lounging on the rafts, pink lemonade cocktails, homemade pasta salad and girl time with my gal.



I could pool float for hours - There is no better way to enjoy the sun than on a float.

It was Sam's sister's birthday so we got a little time with her before she headed out to celebrate.  Happy Birthday, Carly!


Stella had the best time doing circles in the pool… 

… And becoming bestie pup friend's with Sam's dog, Clyde.

It was such a perfect summer day that we even returned for a round two on Sunday before heading home.  

It was a great time catching up with my "second family".  Stella especially thought so :)

  2. Pink lemonade cocktails? Yes please! And a pool day is pretty much my perfect summer day too. I love just sitting out in the sun with a good book!

  29. My silly dog will NOT swim; just dip in and then get right back out. Human or puppy, the pool/water is the only way to be outside these days!

  30. That sure does look like a perfect summer day! I could do with a pool or beach day right about now but unfortunately it is raining all day everyday in the u.k!

  31. Lounging by the pool is my idea of the perfect day too! Though I don't get to lounge much anymore. It's mostly feeding an infant, chasing a toddler, feeding the toddler, and playing with said toddler, but I wouldn't trade it. Soon enough I'll get to lounge again and I'll miss the chaos. :)

  32. Pink lemonade cocktails and floating in the pool is definitely ideal. I could go for that right now!
