Nantucket Recap

I am definitely back to the 'real' world after having a very relaxing trip with my husband to Nantucket last week!  I got to give it to LindsB for having guessed our destination correctly.  My favorite part of the trip - being alone with my husband and being in Nantucket.   
We arrived last Thursday right on the brink of the terrible storm that hit NYC.  We took a puddle jumper from Hyannis to Nantucket and I was clenching my husband's hand the entire way.  I hate flying in those things.  Friday was overcast and was perfect because we literally slept so much.  Would you believe it if I told you I slept 10 to 12 hours every night?  No, I wasn't sleep deprived!!
Our footsteps in the sand.  I enjoyed every minute I spent with my husband.  This is the third trip in the past four years (since we gotten married) that we've taken a trip alone together.  Pure bliss. 
We were so fortunate to stay at our friend's house while in Nantucket.  They are so gracious and loaned us their summer house!  It made our trip so spectacular.  Isn't their house gorgeous?  It is literally steps from the beach.  
Of course, I grabbed my husband and took him to all my favorite home decor stores in town.  I will save that for a later post - way too many pictures.  Can I just tell you Nantucket has some of the most AMAZING boutiques!! And, while I loved browsing these shops oohing and aahhing at all the gorgeous home furnishings, my favorite part of the trip was just spending quality time with my husband.
Here we are chilling at Cisco Brewery - sitting in the sun, drinking some cold ones and listening to live music!  And, finally, we capped off our trip with a very nice and romantic dinner at American Seasons.  A restaurant that serves local and seasonal fare, it is a must go to restaurant if you're ever on the island.

  3. It sounds like a fabulous trip. Time spent with my husband alone is something to be treasured. Your friend's summer home is lovely. 10-12 hours of sleep - I believe it AND I'm jealous :)
