The 4th of July is finally almost here and I cannot wait for the long weekend.  I am particularly excited for the holiday this weekend as I am heading up to Cape Cod with a group of friends Thursday after work, which means I have a full four-day vacation.  I am so looking forward to a care-free beach weekend of getting some much needed sun, playing games and I am sure there will be some boozin’ in there :)

I had the urge to bake over the weekend, so when I was at Trader Joe’s on Sunday I picked up some cake mix and decided to make some festive cupcakes for everyone to enjoy!  

Also, I couldn’t wait to try out the new Nikon 3100 my parents got me for my birthday!  Can you tell the difference in the pics?  Well, I still need to learn how to use a lot of the functions, but I am excited to learn.

All my love from LaLaLand :)
