so long, summer!

We spent last week-end at a posh beach house
in Point Judith, Rhode Island,
{a village on the coast of Narragansett}
the guests of my youngest daughter’s
wonderful in-laws.

Seven of us took the ferry from Point Judith to Block Island.
I love this pic. It's the shadow cast on the water of the 7 of us as we're waiting to leave the ferry.
So fun! :)

We walked (and walked :) )and shopped,

had lunch,

and enjoyed the

absolutely perfect

summer weather!We enjoyed brunch together

and were entertained by a man who builds rock sculptures.


No glue. Seriously. Amazing.


And the week-end ended all too soon...

{Thank you Dickie and Bonnie}

and it's

Bye, bye, summer!

  1. What wonderful pictures! Looks like you all had a great time! The rock sculptures remind me of my trip to Aruba. People from all over stacked the rocks like that too. We did as well, really neat.

  8. Wow, how special to have in-laws with such a great place to visit. You captured some great moments. I really like the Rock Man but then, the shadow picture is pretty fun.
