10 pictures on the 11th day of the month (Monday). {Document a snapshot of your life; find beauty among the ordinary things in your day!}

Shaun and I worked in the morning and prepped for going away for a couple days. J was on a missions trip to Guatemala and we decided at the last minute to do a quick trip away, just the five of us for the first time in more than eight years.

Shaun found a unique place on Airbb...a house on a very small island off the coast of Connecticut. We met the owner at a marina, loaded up all our belongings on his boat and went for a 10 minute boat ride to the island.

This is it...an island with just three houses...we stayed in the middle house.

When you have three sisters, you know about tans and tan lines. :)

...but mostly he just had a fishing pole in his hand. There was unlimited fishing, hunting for crabs...the kids did a ton of all of it.

It was advertised that there was a boat for use...

...what was not advertised is that it didn't really work. Avery and I watched it all unfold, with great delight, from the porch.
