Beach!

We had been planning to just hang out at home during our day off yesterday, but at the last minute got invited to go to the beach with some friends. We ended up spending the 4th of July hanging out in and around the ocean, followed by a barbecue, followed by watching the fireworks from our balcony. Today Ben left for Australia for a conference and he'll be gone for 10 days, so it was a lovely way to spend our last day together for awhile.
