Hamptons with the Hills

PART THREE:
On Friday, after an outdoor shower, Wesley and I headed out to the furthest tip of Long Island to Montauk. We stopped along the way to take in the view.



We went to the lighthouse.


Climbed to the top

got tired had to stop

finished climbing to see this view


While we were up there we noticed a photo shoot taking place on the beach, so of course we made our way there to see the model!


We then had lunch at Topsides at Gosmans Dock. We were told to go here and have a mudslide...so thats exactly what we did.


After lunch we decided it was time to hit the beach

Here is our sad little spot...wah..wah...wahhhhh

We went for a walk on the beach to see all of the houses and then hopped in the car to drive around and look, but thats another post!
That night we went to dinner at Turtle Crossing, it was cute and casual and RIGHT across from our hotel! We stayed in east Hampton both Friday and Saturday night.


We ended our night at a little bar in the East Hampton Village.

*** Sorry I tried to make this only 3 parts, but we did so much and I cant let you miss any of our activities. Soooo, part four- THE FINALE tomorrow! : )

PART TWO:
On Wednesday when Wesley go there we were all so happy to see him. He looked so cute driving up in our Impala we rented.

We celebrated his arrival with a bottle of wine on the beach before our lobster dinner.


Thursday we went to explore South Hampton together.

Did a little shopping at J. Mclaughlin and Wesley's new favorite swim trunk store Vilebrequin


This place looked so fun we had to go in for an afternoon drink & snack



Thursday night we went to a restaurant in Sag Harbor called Beacon. Jen & John went there earlier in the week and spotted Michael J Fox. We had no celeb sightings, but the food was amazing and the location was right on the water.


*The nice lady that took our pic couldn't get Wesleys whole head in.

When we came out of dinner we couldnt help but notice the cars surrounding the Impala.

We weren't quite ready to call it a night so we went by a wine store and bought the wine we both loved from dinner, it was a Rose from the Wolffer Winery in Sagaponack, NY, and headed to the beach!
We were the only people out there and it was a perfect way to end such a wonderful night.

PART ONE:

* i know not the best pic, but with kids you have to take what you get!!
We are home from our wonderful trip and I cant wait to share our travels with you. I flew up to New York with the family I nanny on Friday July 23rd.
Reese was pretending she was in First Class.....with DORA!

They have a wonderful house in Bridgehampton. They are 2 miles from the beach and surrounded by farmland. It is so quaint and relaxing out there, no wonder all of the people from New York go there for the weekends. I spent the first part of the trip "working".....
We had a water balloon toss on the beach one day

Stuart, 10


We went on walks to find shells then Lanier and I decorated them

Lanier, 8

We went shopping...Lanier found LILLY!

We went to the Farmers Stands to get fresh produce to cook at night.



This stand was pictured in the one of the recent Martha Stewart Living Magazines.
We spotted Wildlife in the backyard.

And built Sand Mountains!

Reese, "2 and a half"
It was so fun to join the Gordons on their vacation....but I couldnt wait for Wesley to get there!

Headed to the Hamptons

By now I am in the Hamptons and hopefully already taking in the beautiful houses and maybe even having cocktails with all of my friends. We will be gone until August 1st...OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! I am so lucky to be married to such a wonderful guy, this year has been so special and full of new memories. I will be back with a full report of everything we got to see and do. Hope you dont miss me too much!! : )

Behind on Bloggin'

This week I have been super busy preparing for our trip. We have been cracking our "Piggy Bank".

I got these from Storehouse before it closed...ahhh...remember that great store?

When it is full you bust it open and there is a quote in there.


I took all of our money to the CoinStar at Publix and..... $120.01
Yay! Some nice spending money!

I also took Reese today to get our nails done! It was her first time and she was so good.


We leave at 6:30 AM to head to The Hamptons! Have a great Weekend!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Last night was our last night with our temporary roommate, Wade....Wesley's brother. We will miss him around the house, and I know Wesley will miss his golfing buddy. For our last meal together I cooked a Pork Tenderloin, Sweet Potatoes, and Green Beans. This Pork recipe is one of our favorite go-to meals and SO EASY!

EASY PORK TENDERLOIN
1 Tenderloin
1/4 cup Steak Seasoning (any kind will do, ex. McCormicks)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
2 Tablespoons Flour
Mix together to make a rub and coat tenderloin. Bake at 375 for about 50-60min.

SAUTEED GREEN BEANS
Fresh Green Beans
Olive Oil/ Butter
Fresh Dill

On the stovetop saute green beans until desired tenderness and about 5 min before your done add in some fresh dill.

Let me know if you get to try these out! I got both of these from Erin Butler Norrell, she is such a great cook!
