Anniversary Weekend in East Hampton- Mill House Inn

-


When it comes to the perfect summer getaway The Hamptons should be on everyone's bucket list. For our 2 year anniversary, we headed to East Hampton NY and stayed at the Mill House Inn.  The Mill House Inn is the perfect embodiment of East Hampton. It is elegant, charming and filled with character. 





When we first arrived, we were greeted with a snack bar filled with homemade cookies, freshly squeezed juices, coffee, lattes and many other items to make you feel right at home. Our guest room was beautifully designed, featuring a huge bathroom with a soaking tub. The location was perfect, as it was just a few minute walk to the many shops and restaurants of East Hampton Village. 




On Saturday, we set out for an adventurous day. First we made a drive to Sag Harbor to walk around the waterfront and admire the giant boats and yachts docked along the water. Next we stopped at Wölffer Estate Vineyard. This was one of our favorite vineyards we visited on Long Island. They had an open air back patio overlooking in the vineyard, where you can sip your wine and soak in the atmosphere. 





From there we made the scenic drive out east, down Route 27 towards Montauk. We went to the Montauk lighthouse to take a photo. After we stopped at Montauk Brewery which is located in the center of town. 



We then headed back to East Hampton for an evening on the beach. The inn provided beach passes for the private East Hampton beaches. There are a long stretch of beaches just a few miles from the inn.



The evening was the perfect setting at Egypt Beach. The sun came out and we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. The inn provided all the accessories such as beach chairs and coolers, which was a big convenience. For dinner recommendations, we went to Rowdy Hall and CittaNuova, which is a quick walk from the inn and both were fantastic.

 


On the way back to the Orient Point Ferry on Sunday, we found a sunflower field off the side of the road that caught our eye. We stopped off for a few photos. It was the perfect way to end our anniversary weekend.

Snorkeling at Baby Beach- San Nicolas, Aruba

-
Image
Baby Beach is a great day-trip to make if you've rented a car in Aruba. It’s located on the southern tip of the island in San Nicolas.  Baby Beach gets its name from the tranquil cove of water that surrounds the beach being so calm that even young children are safe to swim in it. The drive down from the hotel area takes around 40 minutes. It’s a fun ride down stopping at the shops in Oranjestad or checking out one of the more local restaurants once you get south of the airport. Directions in Aruba are pretty easy to follow. There are only a few highway-type roads and because it’s a small island, you can usually find the water as a point of reference if you get off-route. Baby beach definitely has a unique look to it, as the rough ocean flows into a protected, horseshoe shaped cove where everyone swims around.  Because there are only a few hotels nearby, the beach has a local flair. However you’ll see plenty of tourists and guided tours as well. There are als

Wessagusset Beach- North Weymouth, MA

Although Summer is already over, we still enjoy going to the beach.  One of our favorite and also most convenient locations is Wessagusset Beach in North Weymouth.  The stone wall of the beach runs along Fort Points Road where you'll find a small cove, with parking as well.   The beach is relative small and very rocky, so you probably won't find yourself walking barefoot in the sand.  However it is the perfect beach to catch some rays, otherwise enjoy the sunset. With Wessagusset Yacht Club  close by, you will always see a few boats out in the water. Snapper Blue The beach is also an attraction for some fisherman with striper and bluefish along the shores.  But rumor has it that fishing has been slow this year. Our favorite part about this beach is that it faces west overlooking the Boston skyline.  So we've seen a few amazing sunsets and views from Wessagusset.  Here are some of many more to come!

Experiencing Boston Sky High- The Skywalk Observatory

In planning our weekend adventures, we often overlook the abundance of places we have yet to visit in one of America's largest and most historical cities, Boston, MA.  All too often we turn a blind eye to Boston's many amazing attractions while immersing ourselves in daily routines.  However, we found that being tourists in our own city, has lead to some of our best travel experiences!  That including our recent invitation this past weekend to tour Boston's only 360 degree view of the city skyline at the Skywalk Observatory . Located 52 floors up in Boston's Prudential Center , the Skywalk arguably has the city's most picturesque panoramas.  The observatory is open 7 days a week between 10 am and 8 pm (in the Summer it stays open later until 10 pm) with admission being $17 per adult.  We timed our visit for 4 pm so we could catch the sunset over the city.  Friends- Samantha and Jordan at the Skywalk Observatory Aside from just the views, th
