Our First Family Vacation

Our first family vacation, a trip to my family’s summer home in Greenport, NY (specifically on the North Fork of Long Island) that we've always referred to as The Bungalow.  We used to spend a good portion of our summer vacations in Greenport visiting family as we lived in NH and pretty much the rest of my family still lived on Long Island.  It was always fun and Tony and I decided to expose Gwen to the long, muggy days spent out by the bay sea-shell hunting early.  A great time was had by all.  Here are some maps:

Now that you have an inkling as to where we are, here are some pictures (unfortunately we didn't take many still photos and only took a couple videos so there isn't much to share):

 

7/9 - Gwen ate her first real peach ("real" meaning non-pureed) and loved it!  There are more pictures in the "YUM! ~ First Foods" section

 

7/10 - We went down to the village to do some shopping and wanted to take Gwen for a spin on the carousel, which she instantly hated.  As soon as I attempted to sit her on a horse she started crying and then the not-so-nice woman running the show started yelling at me, "Hurry up and sit down, Mom.  We're waiting on you!"  So I paid my $2 to sit in the sleigh; nice and boring and safe.  When the ride was over we opted to give Gwen a second opportunity to sit on the pretty horsie (we needed the photo op after all!).  And what a photo op it was...

  

 

7/13 - Just hanging out on the porch, and she was in rare form.  I couldn't help but post a dozen pictures; she's just too damn cute.
