Slow boat to Hingham.

The crew was up surprisingly early on Sunday, August 27th.  Lara was up for a walk down by the wharf for sunrise and rocked this photo.



When she returned, TB, Kari, Abby and I were up and decided to check out on last place to eat.  Black eyed Susan's was just down the street.  Great breakfast food, sourdough French Toast, Huevos Rancheros, 2 eggs, bacon & hasbrowns and buttermilk pancakes.  Sometimes you need to get up early for the good stuff.

Bags packed, houses cleaned, garbage taken out, bags dropped off by the ferry.  We were a picture of efficiency.  We left our bags in the hands of the ferry staff, trusty ferry staff?  TB tipped him a little extra TLC.  Apparently it wasn't enough cause when we got back to the dock, our man was like "Ahh, Yeah, your bags are on the boat but I don't remember which carts they are on.  Good Luck."


Waiting to leave in our ferry corral.

The car ride back involved some tears (Grace), some air conditioning (Ashley) and some agressive parenting (Everyone who isn't a parent or going to college next week)

Odds and Ends


Lara took this rocking picture of the Lighthouse 


Cool little map of Nantucket.


What you call before your teenage children get mad


Sometimes this is the beach body you need after parenting.

Celebrates seen in Nantucket
Rick Pitino:  U of M Gopher men's basketball coach and a very fast walker.
Todd McShay: ESPN NFL draft expert.  Nice guy willing to pull the Burley when biking.

Back in Hingham we went for a walk.

Katie took this weird little scooter thing and need Kari and Troy to help her up the hill.  Abby had a bike, slip proof pedals. Grace had a scooter.  Everyone else walked.

We decide to have Wahlburgers by the beach.  Only after picking up the to go order did I discover the tragedy of Wahlburger.  Wahlburger dudes don't put silverware or condiments in the take out order like Lions Tap does.  If you are hungry enough you can eat a salad with your hands.


Where is your fork TB?  SDA has failed us all


These natives are restless without Kerchup.

The dinner still ended with smiles

Katie, why the duck face so 2014
