Coming Down the Mountain

September 27, 2008 - We didn't even need to unpack our bags and we were off again - this time, it was camping!! We met Claire, Sarah and their parents at Mohican State Park for an overnight camping expedition. We got to toast marshmallows, throw rocks in the lake and sleep in a tent. Of course, we did have ONE modern luxury of the DVD player so Claire and I watched my current fave: Barbie and the Diamond Castle. Check Claire's site out for some more pics but here's mom, dad and I still smiling after sleeping a night in our tent.



We have to do this again!

Vineyard

September 20, 2008

It's 6 o'clock now in the morning
As I wait for my train to come
To take me somewhere just outside of Boston
As I run to find the other sun...

And this great force that takes me to the Ferry
To cross wind and water so untamed
When I'm on that ship my life just seems so very
Small in comparison to everything around...
-Lyrics from Vineyard by Jackopierce

This week, we celebrated my Grandpa's birthday on Martha's Vineyard. Here we are, inline for the Ferry.


My first boat ride! Can you believe you DRIVE on this boat?!?


Martha's Vineyard is known for it's beaches and our favorite was Lambert's Cove Beach. We made sure to get as much beach time as the weather would allow!


Amazingly, the Atlantic Ocean cooperated and gave me a brief moment of wave-free water, so I took advantage of it!


When the waves got too rough, we played at the house with bubbles!


And when it got chilly, we shopped in Edgartown and checked out the view.


It was a great trip and I can't wait to go back!! Happy Birthday Grandpa!! Two weeks next year?!?
