Just Good Shit: 08.15.21

This week, I went to the beach twice, which felt decadent! On Friday, my girlfriend and I made a spontaneous evening trip to Riis, which absolutely rocked. We saw the sunset and the moon, ate burgers and truly the best grilled cheese, and got a much-needed break from the city heat and humidity. We’ve also started planning a fall trip to Acadia, which I’m so so excited about. And after spending all day today on the beach I’m feeling pretty mellow and happy.

Here’s what else I was up to this week…
