George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth are enjoying a relaxing weekend with family, as the summer months continue to roll along, and it turns out the TV anchor was able to grab some spare time off too.

The Good Morning America anchor, 63, and the actress and comedienne, 59, are spending a majority of their summer upstate near their beach home while their daughters Elliott and Harper are visiting from college.

Ali shared another glimpse of their weekend away, this time sharing that George managed to get in on the fun with a day off from his work on GMA as well.

"He got a day off!" she captioned an adorable snap of theirs on the beach, embraced while posing for a snap, and they were quickly inundated with scores of heart emojis from fans.

The Go Ask Ali podcast host previously shared another sweet beachside family snap, this time a throwback with their two daughters, both of whom are now in college. "Holding my people tight. Even though they're in college now!" she captioned it.

Earlier this month, Ali and their two daughters joined close family friend Mariska Hargitay and the Joyful Heart Foundation, a society devoted to the support of those affected by sexual assault and violence, for their 5th annual Beach Walk.

Several other snaps were shared on the Foundation's official page, and they were captioned by Mariska with: "Huge thanks to everyone who came out to support Joyful Heart on our 5th annual Beachwalk. Reach out. Connect. Break isolation. That's why this Beach Walk has become so dear to me."

"Because it's a symbol of community. It's a symbol of togetherness. And it's a symbol that transcends language and distance and culture. What we're doing here isn't just a walk on the beach. We're participating in and demonstrating how we're going to bring this violence to an end: Together. And I can't thank you enough for doing this."

Unfortunately, their summer took a more tragic turn later in the month when George lost his father. The entire family headed out to Ohio for the funeral services, performed in the Greek Orthodox style. Since then, they've returned to their home base in NY and George has been back at work.
