Beach Bound!

And it's beach time! So excited to kick off the summer season (and work on my sun tan!). Each year it is the Mathes Family Tradition to have the whole gang to North Topsail for a few days of fun in the sun. We came down yesterday and will spend a few days here. Looking forward to some sun, some relaxation, getting some reading in (I bought 2 new books yesterday so I would be prepared!) and some sand and waves.

Memorial Weekend 2008

As a side note... How good was the American Idol finale last night?!? I loved it! It was such a blast from the past having Janet Jackson perform, having the Wonder Year's song (we were only missing Kevin and Winnie!), Carrie Underwood (who by the way is absolutely gorgeous), among others. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was thrilled Lee won! I have a feeling with Simon's departure the show may take a turn for the worse, so I am glad they went out with a bang last night!
