GETTING THE PARTY STARTED

Mom and Dad are here! We picked them up at the airport yesterday afternoon and after making a run to the grocery store and getting them partially unpacked, we broke out the appetizers and started in on some wine.

Nothing is better than having a glass of wine, devouring some tasty starters and chatting with everyone as the waves crash on the beach.

While at the little gourmet food store/wine shop, Meena and I picked up some smoked salmon salad. We weren't sure how it would be, but I think the consensus after we'd eaten every last bite was that it wasn't half bad. With some bagel chips and sesame crackers, I think it went down pretty nicely.

Although I didn't photograph it, we also had some hummus with our assortment of white wines. Delicious!
