The Grass is Greener

July 18, 2012 by Susan Bednar Long Leave a Comment

I spent a glorious two weeks on Nantucket for our annual family getaway.  ACK (the airport call letters and nickname the locals call it) is one of my favorite places and its visual icons are unmistakable: the weathered gray cottages, brilliant climbing roses and crisp, nautical palette.  On this trip, I was particularly struck by the lush walls of greenery and lovely garden gates that line the island estates.  I snapped a few for inspiration:

Design scouting aside, it was about unwinding with family and dear friends.  Some highlights:

Biking down my favorite street, Baxter Road

Hanging out at Cisco Brewery

 Helping my kids set up a lemonade stand

 Sunset cocktails at Galley Beach

 Boogie boarding with my kids on Sconcet beach

What are your iconic vacation moments?  I’d love to hear!
