Chappaquiddick/Mytoi

We went over to Chappaquiddick again this year and stopped by the Mytoi gardens on the way to the beach.  We thought it was going to rain, but turned out to be a decent beach day. 

Beach, beach, and more beach!

We had such a great time at the beach this year.  We had great beach weather and the kids had their cousins to play with.  The kids were so happy to have "the cousins" as they call them at the beach.  We also had masks, beach toys, and boogie boards to use this year.  With the masks the kids found so many shells and crabs at the beach that it was extra fun.  This year we went to Long Point, Cape Poge, State Beach, and Menemsha.  Long Point was one of the coolest beaches I have ever been to.  One side was ocean and the other was a fresh water pond, so you could go back and forth from salt water to fresh water.  The only downside was that the surf was way too rough on the ocean side for the little kids, so we spent most of our time at the freshwater pond.  It was great swimming though, ocean bottom with fresh water is amazing!

Martha's Vineyard 2012-Cottage

We just finished our second trip to the vineyard. This time we went with Brian, Erin, and the kids. We stayed in two cottages that were next to each other with a shared outdoor patio. It was the perfect set up and the kids had fun playing together.

Crane Beach

We bought a beach pass to Crane Beach this year.  The kids (and us) love the beach so its nice to have.  Mason's BFF Henry also has a pass so its great to go to the beach with him too. 

White Mountains/Santa's Village

We just got back from a trip to the White Mountains and Santa's Villige.  We did Story Land last year so decided to do something different this year.  We loved Santa's Village, it was pretty, well maintained, and clean.  Perfect for the ages of our kids.  They also had a great water park which we spend a lot of time at.

When we got to New Hampshire we went to Diana's Baths first to do some swimming. 

After the waterfalls we went back to the room to relax and the next day we went to Santa's Village.

We had dinner and ice cream, went back to the hotel and made Smores and relaxed.  The next day we went to Echo Lake in the morning then headed back.  It was a nice long weekend.
