Summer Vacation

This summer we were lucky enough to be invited to my cousin's wedding in Martha's Vineyard. What a beautiful place to get married and what a wonderful opportunity for us to extend the visit into our summer vacation.

The ferry ride there and back was a treat of its own.  The girls loved watching all of the magical things the ocean showed us... boats, birds, fish, waves

We arrived and had beautiful beach weather all week.  I could sit at the beach all day long and the girls had such a blast playing in the water.

While there isn't a ton to do at the Vineyard for kids - we had a great time, ate lots of ice cream...

And took life a little slower, enjoying the simple pleasures...

a little more quiet time, 

and togetherness.

Hunting for seashells, seaglass and rocks was an all-day event, each day...

And back at the house we rented there was a perfect yard with plenty of trees for climbing.

The ride home on the ferry was just as fun as the ride there. 

And while I truly enjoyed our trip, I was so happy to see my pets when I got home.  I missed them like crazy and love being back in our very own cozy house.

There really is no place like home.
