Columbus Day Weekend

 

We traveled to Boston for the weekend to visit some dear friends who just relocated.  

We ventured to Woodman's in Essex on a rainy afternoon for lunch.

JCW was in heaven with all the delicious fried food and he may have even added the Woodman's cookbook to his wish list.

We had some great meals from No. 9 and Oleana but my favorite stop was Toscanini’s for ice cream.

After the rain stopped, the weather was beautiful so we did a little sightseeing at the Longfellow House.

Special thanks to the Talented Gallery Director and Sam's Good Meats for a wonderful weekend. Your new house looks great! It was also such a joy meeting MBW's new baby, Conner. xx

Lewes Yacht Club

It's time to start embracing the change in seasons. What a great summer it's been...until next year!

Delaware Beaches

We were able to get to the beach a few times this summer and luckily the Delaware beaches are just a couple hours away.

We went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Lewes...

 

...and fell in love with the most adorable candy shop.

JCW & ESW

I am already dreaming about the beach next summer.

 

Hamptons Farewell

I am going to miss all of the gorgeous urns and pots outside the shops...

  

...and checking out spots like the Parrish Art Museum.

 

We were so spoiled by all the farm stands...

 

...and let's not forget the meals.

 

We even had a Kardashian sighting during lunch at Sant Ambroeus, when Kris Jenner and Scott Disick walked by us and sat down to eat.

East Hampton

We spent an afternoon in East Hampton and it was hard not to notice all the great beach rides.

We saw #HighFunctioningADD, Donald “Drawbertson” Robertson's exhibit at Eric Firestone Gallery. I loved his use of pizza boxes and Whole Foods bags.

JCW & ESW

The Maidstone is one of my favorite spots for cocktails...

...and everyone at the Lilly store is always so helpful and friendly.

AERIN

I visited Aerin Lauder's store in South Hampton.

The store is filled with everything you might dream of needing on a beach getaway.

Fresh flowers are delivered each week.

There were so many beautiful touches...

...like a small case of vintage Rolex watches with colorful hand painted dials.

Sag Harbor

One of the best parts about being in the Hamptons is exploring the different villages.

  

Sag Harbor is very low-key and the sunsets on Long Wharf are simply breathtaking.

ESW & JCW

The town is so charming and quaint...

and another great spot is The American Hotel.

Deck Towels

My sister-in-law had the cutest striped towels for the pool and beach. They looked like Turkish towels but one side was terry cloth so they were actually functional when it came to drying off.

 

Bridgehampton

 We spent a glorious week in Bridgehampton with JCW's family.

It was so relaxing to lounge by the pool.

I spent a lot of time beating JCW at backgammon.

This was the perfect spot for cocktail hour. 

My niece and nephew are experts when it comes to hunting for monsters.

JCW spent a lot of time beating me at tennis.

Summer always goes by so fast...so it was great to fit in some family time.
