Nantucket Island

 Gotta finish our trip to NE before I forget- for those of you who are interested ( mom and dad!) :)
We left Vermont early so we had breakfast on the road and found a nice big Green Mountain Coffee to send us off! We spent a few hours in the car and enjoyed the scenery and each other along the way to Port Hyannis, Cape Cod.

WELL, it was a gorgeous day to enjoy the cape :) ( as they say) We had a lovely bowl of chowder on the water as we waited for our boat to take us to Nantucket.





We landed late afternoon and were captivated instantly by the island. It's such an enchanting place. You must go!!! It's an old whaling town. Heard of the classic novel Moby Dick? The true story version came from this place. It was very quiet on the island since it was the off season and basically everything was shutting down the week after we left. So it was nice to explore at a relaxed pace.





The place we stayed at was so sweet and cozy with the yummiest tea and cookies




The next day was Sunday and we found a great church to attend. After that we had a yummy lunch and went on a tour of the island.








There is an excellent whaling museum on the island that we loved, so interesting!





We loved this almost too perfect place!
