Guess what, everyone? I couldn’t resist the allure of the Hamptons, and this time, I had the pleasure of returning with my fiancé in tow. Our journey brought us to the stylish and serene Solé East Resort, promising a weekend of relaxation.
As we arrived in the afternoon, we decided to kick off our stay with a bit of fun. We headed to Bounce in Montauk, a vibrant spot perfect for unwinding right in front of the ocean. With bang bang shrimp and refreshing drinks in hand, we soaked in the laid-back atmosphere before heading to dinner.
For dinner, we made our way to iconic Nick and Toni’s in East Hampton, a staple known for its Italian cuisine and warm ambiance. My fiancé and I shared pasta and pork chops and finished off with the famous tartufo.
The next day adventure called, and we answered. Our friends rented a pontoon, and we set sail for Shelter Island. Shelter Island is a charming island located between the North and South forks of Long Island. It was the perfect day to jump in the water and go swimming. But that wasn’t all. The party pontoon had a surprise in store — Seabobs! These cool underwater scooters allowed us to glide effortlessly through the water, going in circles around the boat.
As our weekend neared its end on Sunday, we decided to embark on a refreshing hike through scenic Shadmoor State Park in Montauk. This leisurely one-hour trek not only allowed us to get our steps in but also treated us to ocean views along the way. The path led us to stunning Ditch Plains Beach, a popular spot for surfers.
We made our way to Si Si, a charming waterfront Mediterranean restaurant nestled in EHP Resort & Marina, offering picturesque views of Maidstone Harbor Marina. Brunch here was the perfect finale to our weekend.
Our summer of 2023 is far from over. Join me in my next blog as we embark on a European vacation, continuing our quest in Germany and France!

Jul 24, 2024Althoff Grand Hotel Schloss Bensberg Review
After a long drive from our previous destination, it was a relief to see Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg in our view. When we pulled into the hotel court, I felt like we were pulling up to a royal palace. Considering the hotel was originally built as a castle for Prince Elector Johann Wilhelm II of Duesseldorf and his wife, Maria-Luisa of the Medici family, my thought wasn’t that far off.
