Nantucket

I feel like all of my posts lately have been about trips!! I promise this is not real life! Haha. This was Michael's last real summer (here on out it's just one week off), so we tried to make it count :). But now we are definitely back home and already in the grind of med school life and wife life.

So right after New York (here and here), Michael flew out and met us in Nantucket! As a family we used to go back east for summer vacations about a decade ago, so it was fun to relive some memories at this gorgeous, story book-like place. Everything is immaculate. The homes are beautiful and lined with white fences and bright blue hydrangeas, the cobblestone roads are so quaint and everyone is preppy (think polos, pink shorts on every single male and sweaters over shoulders). 

The island itself is only about 13 miles long and 3 miles wide, so we rode bikes to pretty much everywhere we wanted to go! To the beaches, to town, to the grocery store, etc. It was actually quicker to ride bikes than to drive because there are only one-lane roads.

So! The photos!

It is kind of a fancy old rich mom dream of mine to own a Peter Beaton hat! Maybe in 40 years? ;)

Lydia's two favorite things: Papa and the ocean.

Ate my weight in ice cream on this trip. Oops.

We got all dolled up and took family pictures one night! Between all 5 of us girls we took hours figuring out outfits and hair and makeup.... and then it was totally windy and any cute hairstyle we may have been sporting flew out the window. HA! Can't wait to see how those turn out?!

ALSO please note Lydia's little curl!! It makes my heart so happy.

LOL

There is, in fact, an L at the end of this sign.

A few people on snapchat asked where I got my swimsuit and Lydia's matching suit. It's from kortnijeane! Same place we got the matching cactus suits from this post back in March!

Our last day on the island we had a mini early birthday celebration for Lydia and me! Growing up we always had birthday breakfasts, so we would walk downstairs and there would be a set up of presents and streamers and a delicious breakfast! (Thanks Mom.) So naturally my mom had to carry on the tradition here in Nantucket.

Lydia's favorite seat in the house - right on Papa's lap! Showing off her new sweater.

Getting OFF the island and back home was a whole separate (terrible) story! Bad weather led to getting off an airplane after we'd already boarded. Then every single flight out of Nantucket was canceled till Tuesday!! And it was Saturday... Hence the ferry ride (pics above and below), a two hour uber to Boston, 4 hours of sleep and a flight home at 6am the next day! Wowzas. Still feeling pretty pooped from all of that haha. 

But! The trip as a whole was a blast! Thanks Mom and Dad. Now come visit us in Salt Lake! :)
