The Big Chill

This weekend was Meredith's 30th birthday!!!

Being that it was also Labor Day Weekend we did it right and all headed up to the country for a 4 day celebration. It was one of the best vacations of my life - a house full of friends, synchronized swim routines, grilled food and loads of wine and beer, dance parties, hammocks, hikes, waterfalls and wildflowers, and a giant house and 40 acres to run around in and on like pack of maniacal, wild animals.

We lived here and it was awesome.

Talk fest down by the pool.

Synchronized swim team - this is our "genie in a bottle" move.


Charlie holds Office Hours under the apple tree.

There was a small waterfall on the property.

Matt studies the hunks during an intense game of Heartthrob.

I want to wake up with my friends every morning.


The birthday girl!

Before dinner we had cocktails on the lawn and a birthday pinata. We got dressed up in our nicest clothes, but also made a few trips to the "accessories bar" to beef up our outfits.
