I've walked into a picture.

You know you've seen it, too. At least one oil painting or scenic picture of rows of boats with sails across water or lined up at docks on beautiful water with sunsets in the background. Or maybe they were next to a large beach house with a wooden dinghy on shore.
We got to Nantucket on Saturday late afternoon after traveling by plane and car and ferry all day. And it is so beautiful, just as awesome as the photos. I actually said to Spitz, "I can't believe I'm actually seeing this. We're really here."

Yes, he's a doctor, but I don't think we are quite in the social category of the normal visitor. My sister and I got to wander the shops for a bit today. The first one had camisoles that were $95 and gorgeous nighties for only $270. Sticker shock. And everything is like that. We saw very cute sundresses for my 2-year-old that were only $65. Not going to happen. It's nice to window shop, but we'll be heading to the wharf for the Nantucket t-shirts and hoodies for our souvenirs!

So, it's nice to have the chance to come here once (courtesy of a donation of a week's stay in a fabulous historic home that we then purchased at a charity auction for a small portion of its normal rental).
