Nantucket Mothers Day

This post is a little late....but being one handed, left handed, has slowed some things down a bit!

We ALL headed to the island for the weekend, a two hour ferry ride, which is part of the fun.


The weather was beautiful.


We started by just playing in the garden. While Zach and Sam visited the The Cisco Brewery.


Scout did some push-ups

Stopped to smell the flowers

and some yoga at our good friends beautiful home.

Scout gets her first art lesson from the master, Ritch Leonie.


The home of an artist is a fun place to explore. This is one of his lightship basket frames. The only person in the world to make them.

A arrived at our egg hunt party with this little basket for Scout. Such a lucky girl!






We drove to Sankaty lighthouse.


And were excited to discover one of the two days a year it is open was Mothers day....the other is Columbus day.


The lighthouse was moved about 100 yards because the beach is erroding away.


The original spot.

On our way up!


Can you tell we are excited!


They even let little Scout make the climb.




The original whale oil light, now an automated light has replaced it.


Rose, with some landscape in the background.

Foggy days like this are why you need a lighthouse!




This is the complete skeleton of a 46 foot bull sperm whale that washed ashore on New Years Day 1998. You can find it inside the Nantucket Whaling Museum.









Heading home

I HOPE YOUR MOTHERS DAY WAS AS AWESOME AS MINE!!
