The Big Haul Out – Day 8/9

Has it really been ONLY nine days? God, it feels like an eternity. We’re coming down the home stretch now, and the timing couldn’t be any better because I don’t think we can go on much longer. We’re at the point where our bodies and now our attitudes have taken a...

The Big Haul Out – Day 5/6/7

Quick update on our progress so far. I say quick because it’s past 10:00, we’re physically exhausted with throbbing feet, mangled hands and a boat that looks like a bomb went off in it. Fun times here in the yard. We’ve come a long way in the past three days, but...

Avalon, NJ

We took a long weekend to join Matt’s sister and her family in Avalon, NJ for a little vacay. Honestly, I wasn’t sure of what to expect from the Jersey shore; my experience only being a bachelorette party in Seaside Heights (from what I can remember anyway), and the...
