After the 4th of July in Boston, Zan and I headed down to Greenwich to visit my family. I know I’ve mentioned this before, but my Grandmother lives down in Connecticut and it’s the place where my mom grew up, so I’ve spent countless summers there and almost every vacation in between. The very best time to visit in the summertime because there is so much to do by the water. We spent both days at the beach… Saturday at Tod’s Point and Sunday we took the ferry to Island Beach {a classic day trip!}, both which overlook the Long Island Sound.

On Saturday we also had a second July 4th picnic complete with deviled eggs.

THANK GOODNESS.

I told my mom upon my arrival that I felt I’d been cheated of an idyllic 4th of July experience in Boston because I didn’t eat any deviled eggs. Forget the roof deck and the fireworks, deviled eggs are where it’s AT come Independence Day. No question about it. Saturday night we watched a second round of Fireworks back at the beach at Tod’s Point. They take their fireworks VERY seriously, complete with a DJ and a dance floor. Summer is in full swing and I’m glad to have spent the weekend here experiencing it.

Do you have a place that brings you back to the best days of your childhood? This place is most certainly mine. I’m thankful to have it to return to year after year and I’m thankful for my family who make each trip so special. My heart was happy the whole time this weekend. A summer trip filled with every thing I love. Sun and sand and reading and my Grammy. I loved spending time with my parents and seeing my aunt and cousins and little Hope, too!

Oh, and also those deviled eggs.

A perfectly delicious summer weekend. As it should be.
