downy oshun, hon!

(again...for you non-balwmerese speaking readers,
downy oshun, hon = going to the beach)

my friend, shelley, and i
went to the maryland shore
while we were on our june break
(we teach together).

we walked on the boardwalk
for a coupla' hours
with all of the high school graduates
who were intoxicated,
smarmy,
and full o' themselves.
i reminisced about my
senior-week-at-the-beach
while shelley listened in horror.
"great!" she exclaimed while rolling her eyes
as i told each story.
shelley was getting nervous
about her graduating son's
upcoming week there.

we ate funnel cake,
and barbecue, and
boardwalk fries, and
soft serve ice cream.

but the best part of the
boardwalk fun (i think)
was the photobooth.


shelley...i am going to miss you, girl
when you move to texas.
we'll have to find some photobooths
when we roadtrip to houston!

more photobooth fun here.
