Weekends in Maryland

For the past two weekends we decided to escape the heat of the city and go to Maryland. It was nice to see Foster, go out on the boat, swim in the bay, eat crabs, do a little shopping and relax.

Out on the Boat

Eating on the Water
Taking the Dogs for a Swim

Philharmonic

A few weeks ago we went to listen to a beautiful free concert in Central Park put on by the Philharmonic. It was a beautiful cool night spent with good friends, nice food, and great wine. Relaxing summer nights are the best. The night ended with an awesome fireworks display.

Boys are so Silly

Nantucket

Last week I went to Nantucket with the family I nanny for. It was one of the the most beautiful places I have ever been and I wish I could have shared it with Brian but he had to work. All the towns are so adorable and the lawns are manicured perfectly with gorgeous flowers and very tall hedges. It feels like you are on a movie set because everything is so perfect and beautiful to look at. I can't wait to go back with Brian some time. Our time in Nantucket was filled with adorable children, great food, good conversation, sand, sun and lots of fun. I have several pictures because we were there for 9 days. Here are a few from our trip.

The house we stayed at its called Wade Cottages and it has
been in their family (Nelson's best friend) since the late 1800's
It has some of the most beautiful grounds in Sconset
