Happy Monday, friends!
I hope you had the very best weekend!
The travel whiplash continues a little bit longer (I warned you!) because on Saturday morning, Ashby, Mades and I headed back to Nantucket 🙂 .
And we are oh so happy to be bACK.
This time, I decided to bring you along with me. Today, I have a little {TRAVEL} SATURDAY IN THE LIFE.
Grab your Monday morning coffee and settle in as we go from McKinney to Nantucket on Saturday morning…
…the day started out with my alarm going off at 3:00 AM. I tell myself that this is 4:00 AM EST, so that’s not “too” bad. (The lies I tell myself…)
I got up and immediately…
…made myself a cup of coffee. It was 3:00 AM!
Next up…
…I sat down to do my quiet time.
After that (around 3:40 AM)…
…I added my Bible and Bible Recap to my carry on roller and zipped it up.
Side note, guess what?
I have apparently talked about this luggage so much that I’ve gotten their attention, and they sent me a promo code to share with you guys! Use code SHULL15 to save 15% off your first order with Beis!
I mentioned this the other day, but when I fly back and forth to Nantucket, I just wash and rewear the same outfit on repeat…
…so for the 400th time this month, I put on this dress for my flight and brought my sweatshirt with me for an extra layer.
I woke up the girls at 4:00, and we were out the door by 4:50 with…
…Mr. Charles.
Good morning, DFW!
TSA, check.
Grab Starbucks, check.
Walk to the gate, check.
Charlie wondering where his Starbucks is, check. 😉
Before we knew it…
…it was time to board.
Perhaps one of my very very favorite views in life is…
…sitting on a plane about to take off early in the morning.
A quick 3.5 hours later and…
…we were in Boston.
Woohoo! We LOVE Boston!
We headed from our American Airlines gate over to…
…the Cape Air gate.
We checked in to Cape Air…this is where you give them your body weight and they weigh every item you have (including your purse) to determine where you sit. I was telling the little girls about the first time Andrew and I flew Cape Air…
…which was ten years ago. This is an actual photo from that day. I’m still not sure what was up with the plane’s artwork, ha, but goodness, WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY. On that day, we swore we would never fly it again and fast forward ten years, and I’ve flown it now four times in the last three weeks.
You guys, I even read a book the last two times. WHO AM I?!
My grandmother has told me for years and years and years and years that the only way she got over her motion sickness was to push through and continue to do it. She used to be like me and not be able to read in the car, but she said she just decided one day to read until she was sick as many times as she could until it didn’t make her sick any more. She said after about a year, she could read novels in the car without any issues. I thought she was insane. I now kind of see what she’s talking about.
After we checked in to Cape Air, we had time…
…so we popped across the way to grab lunch…
…and then we waited for our flight.
Love this girl.
He’s such a good little airport traveler 😉 .
Around 2:45, we boarded our Cape Air flight for the hour-ish flight from Boston to Nantucket.
This time, I was on the very back row.
Off we go! See Logan Airport below us?
Not going to lie…this flight was HOT. I was happy to get off the plane because it was really, really hot inside.
About an hour later…
…we arrived 🙂 .
We walked outside and grabbed a cab.
Sweet Charlie.
Before we knew it…
…we were home, changed, and Charlie and I were off for a walk. Ashby and Mades couldn’t get their stuff down fast enough and were off to see friends. After being on two planes and at the airport all day, it was SO NICE to be outside walking.
Everything is oh so beautiful.
Charlie and I sat on the front porch and went through mail and packages from the week…
…I don’t just tell you ladies about Colleen Rothschild sales, I take advantage of them myself. I had stocked up on some things. Opening packages that contain beauty products is my very favorite.
After that…
…I sat on my porch and read a bit until the girls came home.
They arrived home, we freshened up and by 6:30…
…we were dressed and ready to go into town. My SLEEVELESS LINEN DRESS (with pockets!) is 50% off and comes in other colors.
We drove into town, parked and the first people we ran into were our Nantucket besties. I love a small town 🙂 .
After we chatted, the three of us…
…walked down to the marina to have dinner at…
…Slip 14.
This restaurant is ALWAYS delicious.
The weather was SPECTACULAR, the evening was perfect, the food delish…I was super sad the other three weren’t there to enjoy it too.
A gorgeous summer Saturday night on Nantucket…
…and that was a {travel} day in the life 🙂 .
Alrighty, don’t forget, right now, Beis has been oh so kind and are offering my readers 15% off your first purchase with code SHULL15. I have an entire post on this luggage and why we love it.
I also have an entire post on TRAVELING WITH DOGS should you be curious about that too.
Happy happy Monday, friends!
I’ll see you back here tomorrow. xx
