It’s official-Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. Vacation rentals are ending, beach toys are packed away until next year, the gang from Gossip Girl are heading back from the Hamptons, kiddos are marched off to school with sharpened pencils and shiny lunchboxes, the Pottery Barn fall catalog is in the mailbox and those of us feeling the heat look forward to a little crispness in the air.  I am finally heading off to my summer vacation and since I’ve had so long to think about it I know exactly what I am going to be doing for the next week or so. How are you all spending these last treasured days and what is on your fall must have shopping  list now that flip fl0p’s and sundresse’s days are numbered?

I’ll be relaxing at the Connecticuit shore …

{eating plenty of lobster rolls}

{enjoying the last sweet nibbles of summer watermelon}

{washing it all down with delicious mint-limeade}

{thinking about the start of college football (Go Wildcats!)}

{and daydreaming about a trip to see the leaves change}
