I had an innocent plan to find and recycle an old post of mine from around this date back when the blog was a baby. I found one, alright. Now please excuse me for a minute, I think there's something in my eye:

a shout out to my peeps
I had this silly idea that I would be able to come up with a singular,
concise way to summarize our trip to Connecticut without writing a whole
“how I spent my summer vacation” composition (although I do have access to some very chic mini-composition books thanks to Mumsie).
But there is just too much to tell and show and laugh about, I have to
sort through all 300ish photos before I can narrow them down to sharable
status.
In the meantime, it's 5 am in California and I'm up with my gigantic puppy, but before crawling back into my bed (my bed! complete with husband!), I just want to say a big thank you to our kind and gracious hosts and hostesses with the most and mostesses! We had a completely marvelous trip because of your kind and generous hospitality!
To Mom and Dad:
Thank you for the endless hours at the pool

For taking your judging responsibilities just seriously enough:

For allowing us to experience the scandalous fun of an empty school in summer
And of course, for chopsticks:
can someone please tell me how to rotate a stinkin video?

You peeps have a way of making the fun even funner.
So much more to come....
But first, so much sleep
And detox.
