Nantucket

The trip to Nantucket required an early morning start. But once everyone had their preferred caffeine choices, we were all happy campers.
When we arrived it was a perfectly foggy Nantucket day. All of the bumper stickers are right, "fog happens". We lucked out with only two foggy mornings but the gray eventually gave way.
It may seem like a no-brainer but borrowing someone's sweet house is...well...sweet! My boss was incredibly nice and let us stay at his home. Here are some pictures from around the house:

The Cisco Brewery, Triple Eight Distillery and Nantucket Vineyard are all located on the same property on Bartlett Farm Road. Tours are by arrangement only, but they offer tastings all day.
It was highly recommended, if not mandated, that we rent a 4x4 to take on the beach. The drive out to Great Point Lighthouse was by far everyone's favorite part of the trip. The weather was perfect and we watched seals swim by as we relaxed on the beach.
Unfortunately, we had to return to reality and leave the island. The ferry ride home was gorgeous. It was another true "chamber of commerce day".

But as soon as we left the harbor it was a wee bit windy and chilly.

Luckily, I came prepared...

excuse me... who are you and what did you do with my cousin?

your life appears to be 100% glam and fancy pants getaways... the kelly i know boasts the finest in pajama pants and twin linens...

please let me know when you decide to let kelly out from wherever it is you're holding her hostage. i'm sure she's hungry and wants a snack.

Have no fear, Kelly is here! And...I just had a Fruitabu (they are delish!) We're going to the CSI exhibit at the Museum of Science this weekend. I'll be sure to take plenty of pics of Shawn being totally enthralled and my bored/grossed out self just for you!
