Claudia & Jason's Engagement Party

Last night we celebrated the engagement of Claudia and Jason at their engagement party Luau BBQ! It was a blast! Claudia and Jay definitely know how to throw a good party...from the great drinks (Jay made some amazing mai tais!) to the great food to the amazing friends! Here are some photos from the evening!

BOAT DAY!

Back on Grant's birthday (April 9) we all cleared our schedules to go out on Andrea & Jeff's boat on Saturday, May 22. It is crazy how fast time flew by! We all managed to stay free on Saturday except for Erin and Billy -- Billy had to have shoulder surgery on Friday -- We all hope you recover quickly, Billy!

The rest of us headed out on the boat off the Palm Valley dock. We boated down to a little beach in Guana State Park between St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra.

It was really cute...kind of "survivoresque!" Claudia and Jay brought a grill and grilled out.

Grillin' and eatin'
We played frisbee and just enjoyed each others company. It was so fun.

After we ate we all got back on the boat and headed down to St. Augustine and out to the ocean. This was our first time taking the boat into the Atlantic and it was a success, minus a little sea-sickness.

Claudia and Andrea hanging on in the rough surf!
Andrea and I went tubing, Sean and Stephanie went tubing and we floated for a bit and played in the water. We were surrounded by dolphins. It was really fun!

We came back in from the ocean and headed to the Conch House for drinks and some food. They had a pretty good band playing outside and we hung out there for a while.

They were doing a Red Stripe Light promotion so the guys all tried it for free, but weren't impressed.

We left the Conch House and headed back up to Ponte Vedra. It was so fun! I hope that we all can get out on the boat again soon! A big thank you goes out to Jeff and Andrea for hosting us and Andrea's sister for watching Conner for the day! Oh and Andrea for bringing yummy Sangria for me! :) Love you, girl!
