oh, you make me smile.

When I think of New Jersey, I don't think of The Jersey Shore. I think of big pieces of property with greenery all around: cousins having fun, family dinners, porches, and laughter. After our cruise, we made one final stop at Aunt Laurel's. It was well worth it.        

                                                               

Oh, this shed. What I could have done picture wise if my model wasn't tired of my camera that day. ;)

Bling, I went through some heirlooms with Aunt Karen. I would have liked to keep all of them, especially that solid gold band on my middle finger.

Lovin' up on Aunt Karen

and cousin Karen

I LOVE these three

Did I mention, someone had a birthday? Aunt Laurel turned 70!

Happiest of Birthdays, Aunt Laurel! We love you! Thanks for being the final destination of our amazing vacation. xoxo
