Sorry for the delayed post! I started grad school last week and things have been a bit hectic. I did manage to slip away for a portion of the holiday weekend though.

Every holiday weekend, we are invited to go back to the best place in the world for a party that trumps all parties. It is a wonderful place where you are welcomed like family no matter how long you've been away.

If you ever have an opportunity to attend a boat burning at Tall Timbers, jump!
 |
| My home away from home - This was where my Aunt and Uncle take me in whenever I need a break from studying, partying, working or life in general. They spoiled me with fresh crabs this weekend :) |
They find an old abandoned wooden boat to drag out on the beach at the point.
 |
| The boat that is no more (Sorry for the blur! It was dusk and my camera wasn't cooperating!) |
It gets doused in fuel and goes up in a roaring burst of flames. Most times, a barge offshore begins their firework show for everyone hanging on the beach by the fire. Janis Joplin & Van Morrison blare in the background as your buddies move faster than you knew was possible running the tiki bar. The tiki bar by the way is located in a big wooden boat installed on shore (safely away from the fire). Such a fun set-up.

This year was really great because a bunch of kids I graduated with all showed up despite the fact that none of us had coordinated with one another. The best thing about good friends is that you can always pick up wherever you left off. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to see them all.

This is where we celebrated the ends of semesters, beginning of semesters, birthdays, holidays and the end of college. A big thanks to Rick and the family for making this available to us all.
