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.
Our rental house for two weeks.
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.

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:
