Blog a la Cart

Man, this feels like a lifetime ago. Our “big adventure” while on the Eastern part of Massachusetts was a trip solo, sans dependents, for me and James to Martha’s Vineyard. I had a work event, and so it was a nice excuse to spend a little extra time on island with James.

^^Kimmy wrangled the girls while we were away.^^

^^We (and by “we,” I mean James) took dramatic pictures of the sea and sky while on the ferry.^^

^^Then James took very cool pictures of the tents at the work event we attended in Edgartown. Faculty lectures, cocktails, a lobster bake and a concert by this talented Eph were among the line-up of events.^^

^^We then spent the night at our Vermont neighbor’s parents’ home on island. It’s a long, small-worldy, Eph-tastic tale, but essentially our neighbors in Vermont are the children of James’ grandfather’s best friend from Williams (yes, James’ grandfather (both of them, actually) are also Ephs). And this bestie just so happens to have a gorgeous property on the Vineyard. I know, we’re all so incestuous if we’re purple. Regardless, we had the pleasure of staying in their barn during our trip.^^

^^We spent the morning all by ourselves at a private dock, enjoying a much needed dip in the sea.^^

^^I couldn’t resist documenting the awesomeness of our accommodations, home of a solid night’s sleep. The first in a long while!^^

^^While far too brief, it was nice to spend some time, with my partner, and not a dependent in sight. Granted, we talked about how much we missed said dependents nearly the entire time, but we appreciated the brief respite, too.^^
