Blog #1 Summer 2023

This summer, we embarked on a memorable journey filled with sun, sand, laughter, and cherished moments with friends and family. We set out to create lasting memories by spending quality time at two different destinations: the beach and the Poconos. Join us as we recount our incredible summer adventures that rejuvenated our spirits and strengthened our bonds.

Our summer adventure began at the beach, where the rhythmic sound of crashing waves instantly put us in a state of relaxation. The salty breeze, warm sand, and the endless horizon welcomed us with open arms. But what truly made this beach trip unforgettable was the company of our friends and family. We spent several weekends at Kim's family cabana and at Steve's family shore house.

After bidding farewell to the sandy shores, we packed our bags (and our dog, DJ) and headed to the Poconos. Nestled amidst lush forests and rolling hills, this destination offered a stark contrast to our beach experience, but it was equally enchanting in its own way.

Our days in the Poconos were filled with outdoor adventures. The Poconos allowed us to embrace the beauty of nature and rekindle our sense of adventure. One of the highlights of our Poconos trip was Movie Night Under the Stars. Steve organizes this event every year and it never disappoints. Friends and family from near and far come to the farm in the Poconos to view a summer blockbuster. We spent our evenings on the porch surrounded by those we love.

Our summer adventure was not just about exploring beautiful destinations; it was also about strengthening our bonds with loved ones. We realized that spending quality time with friends and family in different settings allowed us to connect on a deeper level. The conversations by the beach and in the Poconos were more meaningful, the laughter heartier, and the love stronger.

As our summer journey came to an end, we were filled with gratitude for the experiences we had shared. The beach and the Poconos had provided the backdrop for unforgettable moments with friends and family, and these memories would forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Aside from our travels, we celebrated two family milestones, our nephew Antonio's baptism and niece Ava's Sweet 16. This celebrations along with the time spent traveling reminded us of the importance of taking time to connect with loved ones.

In the end, it wasn't just about the destinations we visited, but the people we shared those moments with that made this summer truly exceptional. Here's to many more summers filled with love, laughter, and adventure!
