Computer Challenges... The Rest of Vacation and Beyond

About a week before the end of my vacation, my computer decided that it too needed a vacation. So, during the last week of our trip, I unplugged. A good thing? Yeah, probably - of course, I still had the iPhone...

During our last week, the girls and I had some really special times together. Here are the highlights:

• A day trip to Martha's Vineyard to visit Liz, Kevin and their extended family.
• The ferry ride to the island, anticipating the adventure.
• Wandering the shops on the vineyard, buying a few treasures to take home with us.
• Reconnecting with the Lucia clan, including Ander and Addison who we hadn't seen in almost 10 years.
• Time at the beach playing with the kids.
• Dinner with the adults while the kids went to play at the arcade.
• Ice cream at the vineyard's famous Mad Martha's ice cream shop.
• Barely catching the last ferry off the vineyard.
• Carrying Talya and Ayelet in the house fast asleep as we arrived back at the Cape house after 11:30 pm.
• A visit to the Cape Cod Hospital ER the next day when I wasn't feeling so good.
• Michaela and Talya's amazing help, especially with Ayelet when I wasn't up to the task.
• More beach time.
• Watching Ayelet make the beach her own, in particular, check out the shots of Ayelet pulling the boogy board behind her, note the board is bigger than she is.
• Barbecue with the Wednesday morning beach club girls, Carly and Kelsey and their families.
• Birthday dinner and cake with Nona.
• A morning of paper shopping with Aunty Nicky in anticipation of Michaela's Bat Mitzvah invitations.
• An afternoon visit with Danny, Elizabeth and Asher where all the kids entertained us with a musical concert.
• The annual trip to Oleana Restaurant in Cambridge, where Ana made sure that Nicky and I were spoiled with lots of different culinary creations.
• Reuniting with Ron on Sunday morning.
