The Island
Last week we left home first thing in the morning, full of anticipation and excitement for 6 days at my aunt's house on Long Island.
It was a great week. Highlights included several hours and a sand-filled picnic lunch on the beach, riding the waves and soaking up the sun; lots of walks around Northport, where Huck & Judy's house is prominently situated at the top of a hill overlooking the harbor and downtown; indoor and outdoor playgrounds; sitting on the big porch and laughing until our stomachs hurt; Aunt Judy's delicious cooking (her fettucine alfredo is to die for); and touring Sagamore Hill.
Mostly, though, it was just great to be together. I didn't care a whole lot what we did, so long as I got to enjoy the company of my family.
And I got to do just that.

Yeah! Pictures??
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Family memories are the best, 'cause they can happen over and over, and become the best memories of a lifetime - especially for the little ones.
ReplyDelete@MrsNelsonAndMamma2 - Would you believe that I didn't pull my camera out even once the entire week? But this time, believe it or not, it wasn't because I was being forgetful; my dad was taking lots of pictures and since he's a much better photographer than I am and owns a much better camera than I do, I figured I'd just wait for his. Then I'll share some!
