This weekend was everything it should have been: long, lazy, fun, and full of good food and even better people. Dinner and ice cream sandwiches at The Meatball Shop (and some sneakily-consumed convenience store beer to pass the time during a nearly three hour long wait), hours of lazily floating down the Delaware River in an inner tube (with a tube set aside for our beer...I'm seeing a theme), a stop at Target (!!), patriotic baking (recipe tomorrow), and a family BBQ followed by a (sort of crazy) rooftop party in Brooklyn. Thanks for winning your independence, America. Freedom is sort of awesome.
