CAPE MAY

somehow over the past two years, sleeping in six states and two other countries, we forgot to take a family vacation - just the three of us. chris had the brilliant idea of a throwing together a quicky mini-vacation to cape may and it was exactly what we needed.

we loved the beach town. it was less jersey shore and more southern quaint, and just a 2.5 hour drive from our house we couldn't have asked for more.

oh, and we ate ice cream every day. because it was vacation and that's what we harmon's do.

even more pictures over here on my flickr

LAP SWIM

been lap swimming each weekend and gotta admit i'm gonna miss working out in this scene once winter comes. thank god i've got a couple more months. 

ADULTS LIKE JELLO SHOTS TOO

you've probably seen throughout the years that i'm a big fan of spiked jello. i've been known to bring jello shots to housewarming parties, made vodka orange slices for a BBQ in 2010, tried a pineapple version in 2011 for our luau and even made adult watermelon wedges for nina's bachelorette party last year.

so when our good friends and neighbors told me about their joint birthday party over fourth of july weekend i thought it was the perfect time to revisit spiked orange jello slice shots.

needless to say, they were a hit. at least until the next morning when the hangover kicked in.
