Westport Week!

Perfect weather, lots of swimming and gator rides and reading, fishing, frog catching, yummy dinners on the deck, and cousin time. 

Emily's special birthday present from Papa - a signed copy. 






34th birthday, spent with my favorite little people.


On our last full day, we overlapped at the palace rocks with Lee & Kathy, Tom & Leslie, Rob & Katie, as well as Mike & Nancy, Uncle Dave, and David & Kat.  Later that night dad & I said at the same time that that's how we remember the Palace Rocks of our childhoods.




peaceful slow mornings at the house, with lots of Ernie's muffins

 
Fishing off the dock with Mimi and Papa

We decided to make a day trip out of our drive home, so we took the ferry and headed for Burlington to do lunch, Ben & Jerry's, wander Church Street, and show the kids where we lived one summer.  
I love that little city - so many childhood memories of boating over for lunch and wandering the shops, and Alasdair & I loved the summer/s we spent there with Navs summer programs.
first time on the ferry!


I didn't anticipate the highlight of the day being the shortcut we took through the mall. ;)



The Eshbaughs ended up being in Burlington the same day for a bike race, so we managed to meet up for half of lunch, and some Church St. rock climbing.
