nantucket!

hi, hello.
a few weekends ago i drove down to hyannis with some lady friends, we boarded a ferry, and then 2+ hours later we were in nantucket! it was a little colder than i would have liked but we needed to go before friend mel moves so we went earlier than we probably would have done otherwise. for the first little bit i was kind of depressed that in still looked wintery in most parts (which you won't really see because i didn't like taking pictures of that) but as soon as we started walking around i quickly forgot about my sadness and became obsessed with all of the shops and homes and whale paraphernalia errrrrywhere. 



 i loved this back road so much

nevermind the dead trees LOOK AT THAT GREEN GRASS

 that little house in the background was a sandwich shop we ate at for lunch and the tiny little shed with a door next to it was the bathroom (cutest outhouse there ever was!) and they even sold nantucket nectars drinks! i looked down as i drank it and blurted out "hey guys, we're here!" (referring to nantucket) which made me feel kind of juice famous. also, i just noticed that little lighthouse on the label. it is the very same one in the first picture of this post! CUTE.

they had the best flower boxes 
(which is something the east coast is really good at in general) 

 coffin park. uncomfortable.

we perused so many fun stores.
 how about those doll chandelier things hanging from the ceiling? classy

 i spy tennis rackets

 i still mourn the fact that i didn't buy a whale plate

 i went to the second floor of a book store to find all of my friends just reading their hearts out. i had no idea half of them were even in the store, apparently one by one they went up the stairs and just never came back down. one even read the entire book "of mice and men" hahah weirdos



the world needs more cobble stone, brick, and flower trees.

 self-time fail/success

 kristin is way good at holding lots of stuff

 these guys and that sign!

 and then it was time to head back because the last ferry leaves at 5:30 in the off season. 
don't be deceived by amber's smile, we were sad.

then the "we realized we had not taken even one photo together the whole day" picture happened right before going home. so glad we snuck it in there! 

and then just like that our nantucket day was over. 
thank you for joining me! on a photo recap of this lovely day.

i just spent a few moments googling whale plates for you, but we all know amazon just won't suffice you need to go back there and get one.
