Morning, friends!
I’m back in DC after a wonderful couple days in Bethany Beach, Delaware with my friend Hilary! I’m hitting the ground running today (literally – got in a quick 3 miler this morning!) to catch up after taking a couple days off – on the docket are various conference calls, doing some grad school paperwork for starting up my next internship next week, two wedding planning related appointments, a hair cut, attempting to catch up on emails, meeting Matt for lunch and some girlfriends for dinner. Whew! Plus, packing – I leave tomorrow morning for the Healthy Living Summit!
In the meantime, I’d like to share some highlights from earlier this week in Bethany. Image may be NSFW.

The #1 highlight (besides getting to spend some quality time with my high school buddy Hilary) was of course the beach. Image may be NSFW.

We spent all of Tuesday and most of Wednesday with this view.

It was especially awesome because the weather forecast called for rain/thunderstorms both days. We lucked out!
I brought my Nook along and spent the majority of the beach time reading “Wild” by Cheryl Strayed. Have any of you guys read it? It’s REALLY good so far – I’m about 3/4 of the way through. It’s a memoir about hiking 1100 miles of the Pacific Coast Trail solo. Pretty amazing!

Highlight #2 – raw oysters! I’m obsessed with them lately.

They are especially delicious when wine is involved, too. And did you know oysters are a great source of zinc, calcium, iron, selenium, manganese, vitamin A and vitamin B12, among other things? Thanks, Biochem.

Highlight #3 – the boardwalk! I LOVE boardwalks. They just scream summer and happiness.

And while we’re at it – Dippin’ Dots. Yes, future Registered Dietitians (at least this one) still eat hot dogs and Dippin’ Dots on occasion. Moderation, friends!
