To the Vineyard

We met the Roths in business school and were happy to reconnect when we moved back to Boston. The Roths asked us to join their couples' book club with the Coles and Snells, who we also knew back in b school. We were so sad when the Roths moved to China a year ago. Luckily for us, they plan to visit each summer. Kate's family spends a few weeks on Martha's Vineyard and she invited us out for a visit. Courtney Cole, her daughters (who also attend Bowen) and my group set out on the adventure to the Vineyard. Unbeknownst to us, this one day trip would be the highlight of the summer for both of our kids - a summer filled with adventures and fabulous trips (including France for the Cole girls)!

We left my house at 7:30, by car, bus, and ferry we spent 7 hours of travel time. The kids were troopers, the downside being the ferry ride back from MV - an older jam packed ferry that smelled, not great for someone (me) with motion sickness - and the torrential downpour on the drive home. That said - what a fantastic day!

Meeting up with the Roth kids. Their oldest was away at camp but in typical Roth fashion, they hosted us to the nines, swims in the salt water pool, amazing meals, gifts for the kids. It was a day to remember.
