The Longest Day of the Year

Today is the longest day of the year! June 21st, or "Summer Solstice" is the day of the year that boasts the longest period of daylight and the shortest night, and marks the first day of the season of summer! It doesn't necessarily mean the most sun (our day started off pretty wet and rainy here), but it did clear up for us in the end! New studies have found that the vitamin D we receive naturally from the sun actually prevents many cancers! Welcome longer days and more summer sun!




J and I celebrated by going out for nachos on the the patio of a local authentic Mexican restaurant - the food is good (fresh salsa bar) and the place is kind of quaint and cute, only the vroom vroom of the highway during rush hour took away from our tropical beachside ambiance!
