Newport & Martha's Vineyard

The party summer continues! Grandma Lori, Grandpa Dave, and Uncle Tanner came to join us for an idyllic week (before Ben and I abandoned them and left for Alaska for another week!). We thought we would take a trip down south to Newport, RI and Martha's Vineyard. Enjoy the pics!

Classic Henry & Ellis moment -- throwing rocks in the water at the beach in Newport.

(Henry told Brady last week that Tanner is his favorite uncle :)

Look at these two love birds. Just enjoying their beachside sunset!

It took 12 tries to get this picture with everyone almost smiling at the camera. These boys love their GraLori and BompaDave!

This was our view off the deck in our AWESOME Newport suite. We actually had two decks with a great view and plenty of space. We would have been happy to stay at the hotel the whole time we were in Newport (Ben did for one day while we went shopping and he read academic papers -- party pooper!).

Cool guys touring the Breakers -- the Vanderbilt summer mansion which is nestled along the famous and beautiful Cliff Walk.

Ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard. Ellis was most excited about the orange seats! He got his own seat and stayed in it for about 1/3 of the ride.

Ice cream on the Vineyard.
We rented bikes and rode from Oak Bluffs to Edgartown. It was a lovely 6-mile ride along the beach.

After this fun weekend with my family, Ben and I headed to Alaska while Grandma, Grandpa, and Tanner stayed home with the boys. It was quite possibly the most fun week of Henry and Ellis' lives! They have been talking about it nonstop. We don't have any pictures from their adventures together, but we know they had a great time. We miss you guys!
