As our last weekend trip in New England, we went to Long Island to stay with our friends, the Bohrer's, who have a house there. I should mention that Nicholas flew to Seattle Thursday morning at 8AM, for less than 24 hours. He has a show put on by the Center of Contemporary Arts for young emerging artists. He flew out for the opening. Then he flew into JFK airport on Friday and took the train out to basically the end of Long Island.
I ventured out to Hampton Bays on Friday. I drove to New London, CT, which was about an hour drive. Then I took about an hour and a half ferry ride (with my car!) across Long Island Sound to Orient Point, NY. It was about another 45 min to an hour to Hampton Bays, to the Bohrer's house. I drove along the "North Fork" which was filled with wineries, farms and ocean views.
Shortly after my arrival, we took the doggies (Zoe and Toby) to the beach.
Toby has to wear a life jacket.
Zoe enjoyed "retrieving" toys in the water.
I saw lots of pretty birdies throughout the weekend.
The weather was beautiful while we were there! We were able to take the boat out both Saturday and Sunday to enjoy some boating, watersports, and swimming. More on that in another post!
After we left the Bohrer's on Monday, we took a drive to Southampton, where all the famous people go! We didn't see any famous people. In fact, all we really saw was a LOT of traffic! Then we drove back up the North Fork and stopped at a few wineries, which you will also have to wait for another post about. :)
We ended the day in Greenport before driving back to Orient Point to catch the ferry.
