sea foam green is in fashion

yesterday was flawless. the morning started out with my mom saying, "nobody packs like the paternoster's", and this is a fact. no one does it like us. the car ride there was hilarious. we all say the weirdest things. i was sitting behind my dad in the car, so naturally i thought to stick my hand out the window and into his to tap his shoulder and scare the shit out of him. we made great time, got into town at ten. we ate at anthony's, as per usual and afterwards checked into our room. we threw on our bathing suits and headed toward the beach where i drank in every moment. the weather forecast looks pretty good so i am keeping my fingers and toes and eyes crossed. later that day, my dad and i walked around town and i took pictures of all the places so many memories have been based on. after that, we all got ready to go out to dinner at gosman's dock. we got the best table in there, hands down, and laughed the whole time. my mom even spit out her drink onto my dad's glasses from laughing so hard. of course, we had to hit john's drive-in too where we got ice cream.

i woke up today to hearing waves crashing and i've missed that so much. this morning, my parents were drinking coffee and cracking jokes on the deck outside our room. it's nice to see them getting along. they really are an odd couple. this is why i love montauk, though. it takes all the shit away and just forces you to have a good time. if you can manage to be unhappy here, there is something terribly wrong with you.
