So, here's a little recap of my annual trip to Nantucket with my girlfriends. We have been incredibly blessed with amazing beach days, and I hope that we can continue our tradition (in addition to my hopes of buying a little Sconset cottage one day).
Pre-ferry tradition: lobster caesar at Spanky's. And a little shopping at the huts. Guess who bought a little wooden whale before even leaving Hyannis?
This sight. Approaching Nantucket. It NEVER gets old. I DARE you not to smile. Even in the rain!
Ready to break out the party snacks in our cute cottage: cheeses from France and Italy (moliterno with truffles), crackers (including gluten free) and fresh fruit. Great group effort! We followed up with a lobster dinner before heading out- also a tradition!
Mandatory night at the Chicken Box, made more pleasant due to the Joshua Tree playing all of our U2 favorites
I started my weekend off right with a delicious, albeit expensive smoothie from The Green. This place was a go to my whole weekend, and one day, we all had smoothies!
Then I prepped for the beach.
First beach stop: Surfside! What's not to like?!
Post beach, I took walk into town to clear my head and to do some window shopping in advance of group shopping.
Pre-dinner drinks- can't remember what I was drinking, but it was a winner!
Then to a delicious meal at Lola 41.
We had to wait a while past our reservation, but ended up all smiles when gifted with a glass of prosecco for our patience.
Sunday Funday!
New to us: Ladies Beach. Funny name, because not so much for the ladies- no facilities!
On to another tradition, CISCO! Raw bar, grilled Mexican street corn and my new favorite drink- some delightful drink with KALE in it.
Sunday Funday continues with another tradition: watching the sunset at Madaket and a delicious meal at Millie's.
The final day: a walk into town, and breakfast at one of my favorites: The Fog Island Cafe
Then to some shopping!
On to my happy place for a quick centering before I left the island: Sconset!
Always so sad to leave.
Until next time, my beloved Nantucket!
