After getting back from Saratoga and getting a few chores and errands completed, it was time to visit Jackie and Mei at the beach. Quinn and I went for 2 nights each of the 2 weeks and had a great time. The weather was perfect...not too hot...and we all had fun going to the beach, playing wiffle ball, playing Monopoly and eating ice cream. The cottage is right on the water with a great screen porch and patio. Morning latte (instant coffee and milk) was delicious and it was great to enjoy it next to the ocean breezes on the porch in the morning before the kids got up. Jackie's parents were extremely hospitable and I enjoyed visiting with them. Quinn's highlight would probably be learning to skimboard. Both of the kids picked it up very quickly. Not being afraid to fall makes it much easier to learn! I also loved collecting seaglass and finally getting to the R.J. Julia bookstore.
Following the second trip, we returned home, only to head out again the next day for East Lyme, CT and Wendy Savarese's 40th birthday party. It was at a beautiful private lake owned by Yale and they had a delicious clambake. It is amazing that having lived in CT all of our lives, the many unspoiled and beautiful areas of our state that we have not seen.
Matt decided to have lobsters the following night at home with the Brookes and McNamaras...will the fun never end?
Now we are back home and in between batting practice in the front yard, are getting ready for the school year.
