The Best Things About Summer

Grillin' and chillin', fireworks, fresh produce from farmer's markets and roadside stands, taking the kids to the pool or park, trips down to the beach, softball tournaments (as long as it's not 90+ degrees out), picking steamed maryland blues and downing them with pitchers of cold beer. All of which are amped up a notch if there are hot women in bikinis.

I grill without a coat on all year round.

The fire keeps you warm. :D

So do I....sweatin' like a pig 6 months out of the year.......

I purchased 4 crab pots about a month back and we have had crabs about once a week. This year has been pretty good and I can get 2 bozen of nice jimmy's in 24 hours. Last year and years past I was lucky to get 2 dozen in a week.

Tonight is one of those perfect late summer nights, nice cool breeze coming off the lake, crickets chirping, great sleeping weather.

It's 67 degrees in DC right now. What a perfect night.

For those who mentioned tomatoes, hell yeah. Love them. All shapes and sizes. It's also peach season- delicious.

I love the smell of fresh cut grass, the sound of cicadas in the evening, sitting outside with a cold beer, cooking on the grill, the beach, my wife in one of her tiny bikinis, driving with the sunroof and all the windows open with the music up....

I do love summer. Although this summer in DC has been stupid hot. I won't miss that come fall.

I HATE TOMATOES! Worse food ever. But best thing about summer women wear less clothes.

How is that new boat doing? Have you guys been using it very much this summer? I have used mine more this summer then in the past two summers but I have not done very much fishing. Grayson our 3 yr old does allot better in the boat this year and when she gets a little tired she will just craw into the cabin and take a nap so thats a real big plus.

Yeah we get out as much as possible. Wish we could get out more but we've either been busy with other things lately or the weather doesn't cooperate.
