time for another post before i head out of town for the weekend to the beautiful hamptons!
nothing too out of the ordinary went on at work this past week...we were really only here for about 3 days though (short week). we did on tuesday have a luncheon at mark. with the director of national sales Elenor Mak which was a nice way to break up a usual workday. Yesterday however marked one of the best days anyone could ever have at "work"....
it was beach day! i met my mentor hilary in brooklyn (we're neighbors) and we made our way to 34th street...meeting at 8am put us to the dock at 8:10... 50 min prior to the ferry setting sail... a little excited?...maybe :)... the entire FIRCITY team climbed on board and we made our way to longbrand, nj where we enjoyed a catered lunch which was amazing, lounging on the beach, all afternoon open bar, sand volleyball...and every other little detail associated with a day on the beach! if you can only imagine...it was absolutely amazing! it was also a great opportunity to get to chat with people in the office i dont usually work with; i feel like i know everyone even better now!
it was definitely hard to leave but we were all exhausted. the ferry ride home was beautiful...as we came up the east river we could see all of brooklyn including the pramenade, staten island, govenor's island, statue of liberty, and the entire manhattan skyline. picture perfect!
last night i somehow blanked out of my mind we had a karaoke event at the local irish pub that i promised the other girls i would be attending.... that was the LAST thing i wanted to do after being out in the sun all day...but due to peer presure we all arrived at 10pm to the pub and managed to stay til about 2am... the night included probably too much singing from the 5 girls. i'm sure by the end of the summer the locals will have had more than enough of us! haha... but its fun for now!!
today was an interesting day considering i only got about 4 hours of sleep last night, had to get up and pack for the weekend and work half day friday.. i'm meeting peter at penn station hoping he knows what he is doing..because the last time i took a train i got more than lost. i'll just go with the flow i'm sure we'll make it to the hamptons; we have to!
i'm so excited for the long weekend! never been to the hamptons and definitely on my bucketlist--one more thing to check off. planning on being back to brooklyn park for the fireworks monday night!
happy 4th of july to everyone! be safe and have a blast! i know i will! :)
more photos to come next week...it takes so long to download them all, but there are definitely some goodies in the bunch!
