Tiny house, big view

This is how I woke up on our last day.  You can't beat the view.  Although this was fun, it's a one and done for me.  I need communal space that isn't dependent on the weather.  Glad we got out to Banning State Park too! I can cross it off my list!

Big Spring Falls

This waterfall was cooler than the last one:  Big Spring Falls.  Chris got a little closer to the edge than I'd like, but it was a lovely walk, if not cold and sprinkling. 

Banning State Park and Hike

Nice day for it!  Low 60s, overcast, but great for a hike along the Kettle River.  Took some lovely photos, found a heart, and got some fresh air.  Then back for a fire 🔥 and weird adventure trivia.  Chris napped, I relaxed, and now we are headed to another waterfall.  It's only 55° now...so I'm not really looking forward to being outside but I do what Cory wants.  She was right about pickleball, so I shouldn't tempt fate.  

Tiny House Weekend!

Headed up to Kettle River, MN for Cory's birthday weekend.  I gave her two options.  New York or tiny house cabin in Minnesota. 

She chose what she chose...

I had alot of anxiety about such a small space, but didn't realize until this morning I was having latent flashbacks to our EurRail nightmare 11 years ago (picture included of THAT tiny hell ride).  But it's actually really bougie and lovely.  And we are with people we love.  

And that's a wrap.

Our time in the Hamptons has come to a close, and we finished back in Sag Harbor at Page at 63 Main.  

It was a quick dinner of vegetable risotto, rigatoni Bolognese, and a simple dessert of vanilla and caramel gelato.  Everything was lovely. 

We had a great trip, it was so nice to get away in the midst of construction chaos and have a few days with just us.  ❤

At the furthest edge of Long Island...

We drove up to Montauk Point Lighthouse today - it was closed for renovations but we had a beautiful drive up and walked around a bit.  

It was commissioned by George Washington and is the first lighthouse in New York State.  It and the grounds were quite beautiful.

The best goddamn lobster roll in my life.

We went to Lunch:  Lobster Roll for lunch on our way to Montauk.  Holy shit.  We ate WAY too much but it was absolutely the best lobster roll I have ever had.  And I've had alot of them in alot of places.

Marvelous!

These beds!!

They are small but so cozy and they are adjustable and can massage!!  

We watched Peaky Blinders on the computer.

Eating and shopping and sunsets

We headed to Sag Harbor for lunch and some shopping.  It was busy, but not crazy, and we stopped in for pizza at Sag Pizza.  Wowza.  We got the Sopressetta Picante and the arugula salad.  It was simple and bright and perfect perfect perfect. 

We headed back to head down to Twins Beach to watch the sunset.  It was a lovely 10 minute walk from the house, and so peaceful and quiet.

There was one other car there, a young guy with someone.  I’m sure we harshed their fuck vibe by intruding at the beach, the quickly departed.  So we got to take it all in solo.

Oh!  And on our walk back, in the dusk, we saw a doe and two fawns.  They were almost invisible in the low light. 

Then back up to Sag Harbor again for dinner at Lulu’s.  Mussels and a burger and man they were tasty.  Food and shops and beaches and the water and it’s all peaceful and joyful and fun.

Walk to the Harbor

Saturday morning started with a trip to the market for a small set of groceries and breakfast.  Which was a little egg sandwich and omg it was amazing.  

I thought “we should get lobsters!” but the only one in the tank was tits up so that thought quickly dissipated.

We came back to the house and went on a lovely stroll down to the little harbor in Gardiners Bay.  It was windy but sunny and such a lovely walk.  Things smell different here when you are near the ocean, and it’s magical.
