We had a mad dash to return from Summer vacation the day before school started and we were not alone.  A ten hour trip to make it from Hyannis, MA to New Canaan, CT with a barely potty trained puppy is not my idea of fun.  I so needed a vacation that just a day into our first leg of the trip, I came down with a terrible flu like virus.  That’s a first, me sleeping for three days straight while my jet ski sat at the dock and the weather was perfect.  I guess I really needed a vacation!  Needless to say, I did not take a ton of pictures.  I was so thankful to feel better by the time we got to Nantucket.  We went to the beach everyday, which “Ellis” handled like a trooper (did I mention that we love our new puppy!) and just tried to take in as much of the island as we could in the four days that we were there.  I could easily spend an entire Summer on the Cape.  There is nothing like going to sleep at night to the sound of the ocean!  As I post this, we are back in school full tilt with homework and travel soccer practices twice a week.  I’m glad to get back to some serious work but it is great to have the opportunity to get away in the Summertime!

This is practically the only picture that I took while in New Hampshire.

Still not 100% here but at least I was vertical!

Did I mention that we went to the beach everyday?

I’ve always been obsessed with this old Sea Captains house.  He built it for his bride to be!
