What a fabulous time we had in Connecticut. We were lucky to have two beautiful days while staying at the Raymond's cottage on Long Island Sound.
Our cousin Cecily spent the first day with us. We had fun hearing about her first year in New York City. She is finding all kinds of fun ways to stay busy ..... for free. So much going on, so close, it's very different than home.
We walked along the beach, looking at beautiful, crazy, big homes on the coast. At low tide, we could go out for almost half a mile while picking up oysters, muscles, clams and even a few crabs!
It was sunny with just enough wind to keep us all cool so we could stay out all day talking and walking.
The next day, David took us out on their beautiful sailboat.
Each of us got to swing off the side of the boat in a seat attached to the mast- incredibly fun!!! We all think David had a lot of fun getting us wet, even though he says he didn't have THAT much control. It was great and the water was wonderful-it's warmer in the sound than if you were on the coast.
Strolls along the beach, walks across the sandbars, and s'mores by the fire pit rounded off the days perfectly.
