wildwood crest, nj

We went to the Jersey Shore for our 2011 vacation. We let Jake take a friend this year so the boys had a great time swimming and otherwise. For the most part, we stuck to the beach and the pool, but we did do a couple of extra things yesterday (our last full day of vacation). In the morning we went to the boardwalk wherein we did a little shopping; the kids played some video games; and we visited the Wildwood Insectarium, which was pretty cool. Later that afternoon, we went to the Cape May Winery. Their wines were pretty good–we brought home two bottles.

Brian and I got some well-deserved R&R. We got in a lot of reading and relaxation. I busted my ass at work and the house the weeks prior to our vacation so that I wouldn’t have a bunch of stuff hanging over my head while we were away and that definitely paid off.

books

cross

It’s getting hard to keep track of all of James Patterson’s Alex Cross novels. One thing is for sure–I always enjoy reading them and this one was no different. At this point, I’m pretty sure that I’ve not read these books in any kind of order, but it doesn’t seem to matter too much.

I do find that I enjoy Patterson much more if I don’t read two of his novels in a row, so I’m going to keep to that schedule and read a few other things before tackling another one of his books.

everyone drinks

Well, my website, Everyone Drinks, finally launched at the end of June. I was holding off on the official announcement because there were still a few things that needed to be done to the website. All of the major stuff is done, but there are still a few things remaining–I’ll get to them someday. At any rate, the site is up and running. Now, to start my marketing campaign…

movies

law abiding citizen

We watched this movie over the weekend. If you are able to suspend disbelief at all the numerous improbable plot turns, it was kind of interesting. But, overall, not a great movie.

books

dead reckoning

This was the latest book from Charlaine Harris, whose books inspired HBO’s True Blood series. On one hand, I wasn’t as into this book as some of her others. On the other hand, I tore through it pretty quickly. It did serve as a warm-up for season 3 of the series, which came out on DVD recently and will be topping my Netflix queue shortly.
