One of my favorite site- being greeted by Grammie and Poppy at the ferry terminal

Kendall showing her boogie board "stuff" at the beach - she's fearless.

Kiera and Ellie in the cab from the rental car to the ferry in Hyannis after 4 hrs of sleep - they were troopers this trip!

We made it to Nantucket! The girls and I are here with Carla, Ellie, mom and dad for the next 10 days and we’re loving it. It took a bit of effort to get here this year. Carla and I flew in with the girls on Friday and got stopped in our tracks at the Newark airport. Our 5:00 flight was cancelled due to thunderstorms and tornados and we weren’t going to be able to take another flight until Saturday night, so we made the decision to rent a car and drive to Hyannis and get a ferry in the morning. We got into Hyannis at 2 a.m. and had 4 hours of sleep before heading to the ferry, but it was all worth it once we got here. Mom and Dad were waiting at the Hyline ferry terminal with smiles and waves and it was all good!

After unpacking and having a quick lunch on Saturday, we got our suits on and headed down to Tristram’s beach; Kendall, mom, and I on bikes and Carla, Dad, Ellie, and Kiera in the jeep. The waves were perfect and it didn’t take the girls long to get used to the boogie boards again. Kiera and I had fun with paddle ball but both agree we can only improve as the week goes on. Ellie, slowly but surely, got used to the big waves and had fun playing in the “bath tub” that K&K made for her.

Mom made delicious salmon burgers for us and I started the first evening of our trip off right with a gin and tonic on the deck. The long trip, fresh air, and running on the beach did little Kendall in and she was asleep 5 minutes after we put in a movie that night (Ellie made it longer than she did!). All is good when we’re in Nantucket, and life couldn’t be better!
