fire island

Erik and I had a great Labor Day weekend. We had a BBQ on Friday night. It turned into a mini-Chicago ex-patriot party with four of my friends who used to live in Chicago. On Saturday we recovered from the previous night and took the Long Island Rail Road out to the Fire Island ferry. Fire Island was amazing! After a quick lunch, we met up with our friend Josh, dropped our stuff off at the room he was renting and then hit the beach. After a couple hours (and a nap) we went back to Josh's place and got ready for afternoon tea. (Tea on Fire Island = drinking) We slept in on Sunday and headed to the beach after breakfast. The beach was so beautiful. We ran into some of our friends who have had a share on Fire Island this summer. We spent Sunday night drinking (with a quick dinner break). We woke up Sunday and had breakfast with Josh and our friend Reto who showed up Sunday evening. We took the ferry back around one and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home.
