It’s taken me a while to post them, but here is the first half of the photos from our week at the Shore back in August. Aaron and I had a fantastic 10 days with my family on the Connecticut coast. We had great weather and spent a lot of time outside – playing croquet, shuffleboard, swimming and lounging. For the first part of the week Peter and Maria and my Dad were able to join us – so the whole family was together. Additionally, this was Justin’s first visit to the shore and it was a treat for all of us to be there to share it with him. Click on the family photo above to view the first half of vacation photos.

So while we were on vacation last month Aaron decided to do something he hasn’t done in 11 years – shave off his beard. He figured what the hell and initially went for a ‘used car salesman’ style mustache and then later in the week went for a complete clean shave. It was quite a surprise at first – especially for Chrissy and Maria who had never seen Aaron without his facial hair. By the end of the vacation Aaron remembered one of the reasons he grew the beard in the first place – less maintenance. So he’s back to the full beard and mustache now – but I thought you all would get a kick out of the pictures. I have tons of additional vacation photos I will post soon. Click on the picture of James and Aaron above to enjoy these few for now.
