Saturday In Nantucket With #1 and AJ

Hello dear friends.  We enjoyed a picture-perfect weekend here in the Northeast!  We took a couple of long walks, enjoyed some great lunches, and even fit it some shopping.

This post covers our day in Nantucket last weekend with my #1 and Adorable Jonathon.  It started out as a rainy, cold day but we took our chances and drove to Hyannis to catch the ferry.  

When we arrived, the Mister checked us in and was told that the ferry may be cancelled due to the weather.  They would let us know 15 minutes before departure.  As a side note, I want you to know that we weren't the only lunatics there.  We had plenty of company.

Fifteen minutes to departure we were told that we were indeed headed to sea.   

The Mister was delighted that he didn't drive an hour to Hyannis in vain.

Very excited mates to take Nantucket by storm for their first time.

And I would say that this was the exact moment that the tides began to turn.  My two happy sailors started to feel the waves.

We were thankful that it had stopped raining by the time we arrived.

It's not easy strolling these streets riddled with uneven bricks and cobblestones, let alone the rain.  

I suggested strongly to my #1 to wear sensible shoes for our outing.  Unfortunately, style won out.

Light bulb moment!

Now I know what to do with all my corks that manage to reproduce in my drawers overnight.

Adorable Jonathon spotted the Ralph Lauren store within minutes of arriving on land.  

The RL store did not disappoint.

Beautiful interior.

Only flowers to be found on the island.

I met my buddy, Wendy, on my last trip to to island.  She's a good girl to know... she owns both book shops and the brewery.  What a great combo!

In The Pink!

Hey, Dad... Is your credit card handy?

Checking out the menus in town.  The Mister is chairman of this department.

We took Wendy's recommendation and ate at this restaurant.

It was great - fabulous food and wonderful service.  Great ambiance as well.

We ordered this Greek sampling as an appetizer.  The chips were homemade and beyond delish.

My #1 had the brilliant idea of ordering this little number.

I did my part by helping her to finish it.  I wonder how many WW points were in it.  Better not to think about it.

Before we knew it, it was time to get back to the ferry to head home.

Even though the sun was shining, the seas were rough.  My #1 fell right to sleep after all the fresh air, just like she would do when she was a baby.

We arrived home and Chowdah and Chili were so happy to greet #1 and Adorable Jonathon.  They played a little ball together and used up plenty of stored energy.

We noshed on crostinis and wine and hit the sack early with the hopes that the Easter Bunny would hop by and leave a treat during the night.

Until next time...
