here are some pictures from my trip to martha's vineyard, i just got back like an hour ago and i really enjoyed it. my mom, dad, sister, her best friend duane, my brother, his fiance, and my aunt honey all shared a house which was down the street from the house my friend dani shared with her entire family. the trip was filled with tanning on the beach, drinking, good food, good friends, family, and laughter so a good time was had by all... even if we missed the president by a day haha

"MY SWAGGA IS MICK JAGGER"

POD

i went to dinner with my dad and my sister at one of my favorite restaurants [i had my birthday there 3 years ago]. pod is a pan asian restaurant in philadelphia that features a bunch of tasty of hot entrees, conveyor belt sushi, candy colored martinis, anime cartoons, and "pods" which are basically private tables in rooms that allow you to change the color of the lighting..definitely something you would have to see in person. [sorry i didnt take pictures, i left my camera at home]

pod is one of stephen starr's restaurants. stephen starr is the mastermind behind starr restaurants which was "founded in 1995, and is now one of the fastest growing multi-concept restaurant companies in the country". i really admire starr's culinary perspective and business savvy. ive been to almost all of his restaurants in the tri-state area so i want to take a trip to try his newest one in ft. lauderdale, steak 954 anyone?
