One of the first things we did when we arrived back in Duxbury at the end of June was to reunite our whole family. That meant Nick, Lindsey, Sarah and I went to see Nicholas who is living and going to college in Newport, RI. We were were very happy to be together again after so many months apart. We got to see where Nicholas was living and working and we also enjoyed a lovely lunch at the New York Yacht Club's Harbor Court where this photo was taken.
We were also happy to be reunited with our dog, Jackson. Thankfully, he had a great time with his 'other' Duxbury family with whom he'd stayed while we were gone, but he was thrilled to see us too...
Home, Sweet Home... it was nice to be back in our own house for the summer. ...
and despite our 10 month absence, the gardens looked great...
We enjoyed many morning walks on our beach...
We had some beautiful, family sails on Duxbury Bay aboard Mom's catboat, Runaway...
Sarah participated in a little show our yacht club puts on every summer to raise money for the Duxbury High School Scholarship Fund. This tradition has been going for many generations. My father, brother, sister, Nicholas, Lindsey and I have all participated in it over the years! This summer's production was "Once Upon an Island" and as you can see, she was an island girl...
The girls' kick line...
Mom, Dave, Lindsey and I before the show...
As our summer in the States drew to a close, we were fortunate to all be together for a good old fashioned lobster dinner before Lindsey went back to college.
A la prochaine!
