Yay! Summer!

So... my family and I are going to the Outer Banks again this year. We've been going there with a big group of family friends for many years now and we always rent this big ol' house and it's lots of fun. (The house we've been renting these past 3 years has an elevator. Crazy, right?)

We go to the beach, eat a lot, hang out, and normally have a Harry Potter marathon. <3

This year, I've promised myself to (finally) watch more Doctor Who, because all my nerdy, Britophile friends won't shut up about it. (I'm on S1E5 right now.)

A big part about our annual OBX trips is the food.
omg, the food.
We have an auntie that cooks really, really good and one of the families we go with owns a Coldstone ice cream franchise.
... We get to eat a lot of ice cream on this trip.

My mother has promised that, in addition to cookies, we will make one dessert everyday. And by "we" she means ME.

It's okay though.
I'm in total vacation planning mode, where I'm super distracted at work (sorry!) and I have outlined everything that I'm we're going to make, and what we need to bring or buy there.
I created a GoogleDoc of all the baking related things to do and the list (which includes prep days) is over a page long.
Whoops.

I just hope I won't be too lazy when I get to the beach house and I'll actually MAKE everything that's on the list. lol

Looking at the list made me think that another thing I should do is read more of that book and do more research on the baking business thing. We shall see.

I'll definitely try to remember to take lots of pictures.

Hope you all are enjoying/will enjoy your summer!
