We went on a stay-cation this summer with the Posegate family (both Ithaca and Mt. Arlington).  It went something like this.

The beach photos have this soft focus quality to them. I took them through the sandwich bag I used to protect my iPhone from the beach.  The photos are not as sharp as I usually like, and the color seems to have warmed in an unusual way, but I really, really like the contrast between the 1970s-ish palette and the kids’ energy.
