We're told vacations are more about making lasting memories than sipping mojitos. So I can’t think a better way to trudge through the dog days of summer than by revisiting when Kate Upton decided to read a book at the beach.
Kate on vacation harkens to simpler days, like when Justin Verlander was still the second-best pitcher on his own team. Now, Verlander is best fit to hand stuff over to his girlfriend, which is honestly a better honor than any Cy Young award.

Vacations are an important time to recharge one's batteries. Kate deserved this beach sojourn after a busy first half of 2014.

Even after a day in the sun, unfortunately Kate came away with pesky tan lines. Bummer.

To think Verlander was once a star pitcher. Now he's a sun tan lotion applier.

Every relationship has the end of its honeymoon phase.
