Clambake
So last weekend I went to a clambake, but I’ve been super busy all week so I forgot all about it. I know not everyone lives near the New England coast so a lot of people haven’t experienced 
such an event, but I have to say it was a lot of fun. Its the first one I’ve been to, and I would definitely suggest going to one if you have the opportunity. I tried lobster as well as steamers (clams) for the first time, and I really liked them. They both are an acquired taste, its a little hard at first if you think “I’m eating something that looks kind of like a bug.” but I quickly got over it. The
rest of the evening went well. We played softball and volleyball with the little kids, but it was 94° out and very sunny, making sport slightly difficult. Nearly everyone I could see was wearing some sort of preppy clothing, a lot of Tommy Bahama, Vineyard Vines, and practically everyone had madras shorts. The host (the guy who owns the mansion in the photos) complemented me on my outfit; J Crew lobster shorts, and a Ralph Lauren Big Pony polo, saying “All right Man! Lookin’ the part! Way to go!” since I was eating lobster at the time. The Lobster shorts were completly unintentional, I wasn’t even thinking about how I was going to be eating lobsters when I put them on, but obviously it worked out well. Their house was amazing, overlooking the salt marshes with a huge sprawling lawn and fantastic view. I was, pretty envious, because its exactly the kind of house I would love to live in. Now all I need is about $8 million… Oh well. Anyways, all in all it was a really great experience…
