Wow, I'm in LOVE!!! Nantucket is seriously THE cutest place I've been to since living in MA. The downtown area is lined with cobblestone roads, local shops and watering holes and best of all, not a Dunkin's or Starbuck's in sight. I loved the unfamiliarity that the island offered. The anonymity it provided, we felt like "real" tourists!
We jetted over there Saturday morning to celebrate Kev's friend Jim's wedding on Sunday, 10-10-10. We took the ferry over with good friends Tara, Keith and Phil, walked around town and had lunch before heading to the welcome BBQ hosted by the bride, Kim's family friends. The weather was absolutely perfect; sunny and not a cloud in the sky!
Their house was quintessential "Nantucket," very warm, inviting, rustic and beachy all at the same time. The outdoor fireplace was a huge hit once the sun went down. Later on, we hit up two or three local bars before calling it a night. (Note: I reccommend flats when navigating the streets of Nantucket at night, those cobblestones are brutal in heels!)
Sunday was another gorgeous day and we continued to walk around the cute little town before heading to the church. After the ceremony, we headed to
Cisco Brewery, the site of the reception. Now, Cisco isn't just home to beer, but also to Nantucket Vineyards and Triple 8 Vodka. You could say everyone had a reallllllly good time! :)
I'm already planning my trip back to Nantucket, now I just have to convice Kev! Thanks to Jim and Kim for an amazing wedding, we were happy to be a part of it!
