Alex and I just had our first dining experience at Harvest on Fort Pond in Montauk and all I can think is "How did we not come here sooner?"

The restaurant is located right in the center of town and on the water next to Fort Pond. We didn't have a reservation but easily got a spot at the bar (full dining service available) and quickly received warm, fresh bread with a variety of accoutrements.

I took a walk outside to take in the scenery while Alex ordered us drinks.

Even better than the view was the food. I am not exaggerating when I say Harvest had some of the best pizza I have ever tasted (granted, I am not a huge NY pizza fan as I prefer a doughier crust, but even Alex agreed).

Pizza with tomato, mozzarella, bacon and jalapeno and Farfalle with sausage, peas and parmesan.

I would also note that we had the "small" pasta portion and took home half of the pasta AND half of the pizza for lunch tomorrow! Highly recommend a meal here during your Montauk stay.

This past Saturday Alex and I moved out of our New York apartment and became officially homeless. We headed to Montauk to relax, get married and kick off #fosteradventure.

We spent the first few days getting organized, laying on the beach and following up on last minute wedding preparations.

While Alex and I worked hard to ensure our two weeks out here go as smoothly as possible, we were dismayed to find a ticket on our 2004 Toyota Avalon (thanks for selling it to us, Dad!) during our first full day in Montauk. In our rush to pack up and leave New York, we forgot to renew our vehicle inspection certification.

On Monday, we made it a priority to take the car to a garage to renew all necessary paperwork and avoid future tickets. Alex dropped me off at the Physique 57 in Bridgehampton (last ditch attempt at bridal fitness) and headed to the closest garage. He agreed to pick me up in an hour or so after we were both finished. Unfortunately, Alex was told we would fail inspection without replacing the breaks - oops! - so the car had to stay put while all repairs were made. Faced with dwindling battery on my iPhone and recent energy from an exercise class, I thought "I can do this. I'll walk to East Hampton and we can meet there."

8 miles and over 2 hours later, I arrived in East Hampton with 10% iPhone battery, hunger pains and a desire to buy out the entire J Crew store. Meanwhile, Alex got bored waiting at the garage and walked 4 miles to and from East Hampton to get a coffee. Once the car was finally ready, Alex picked me up shortly thereafter and we headed to Lobster Roll in Amangansett for a 3pm lunch. We were exhausted, but had each managed to capture a few snaps of the gorgeous scenery along our journey. Hard to complain out here.

Somewhere between Bridgehampton and East Hampton.

While we were both completely exhausted by the end of the day (and I ended up walking a total of 12 miles!) we felt like we had been pretty productive. We celebrated with some drinks and Mexican food at The Hideaway and I managed to capture these shots:
