End of summer update

I haven't been doing a good job of blogging so far, but now that I have a computer and wireless internet I think it will be a lot easier! I have more to tell about my sister moving her and my mom coming in town but for now I'll start with the end of summer.

I picked up the boys everyday for a week from the natural history museum. Everyday we would spend a little time exploring the museum. I learned a ton about space, the oceans, and african animals! It was the perfect thing for me because of my extreme (borderline obsessive?) love of animals! Although I do prefer to see them alive. I like to think that these animals in the museum lived a happy long life and then died of natural causes in there natural environment and then were picked up by kindly souls who stuffed them and put them on displays to teach people about the environment. Wishful thinking ... I know.

2. I went to Martha's Vineyard with the family I nanny for. It was such a great vacation! Martha's vineyard has got to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Our house was perched on a hill with a lake in front of it and views of the ocean! I loved every moment of it! We spent most of our time at the beach and exploring the island. We even watched the sunset from the lighthouse that was on the cliffs. It might have been the most amazing sunset I've ever seen! At about 11 o'clock the night before we were leaving in the morning we found out that our flight was canceled because a hurricane was coming! This was a scary since we were on a small island and it was supposed to be a big hurricane. So in the morning we got on a ferry and got off the island. Then we drove back to New York where the hurricane hit. Luckily the hurricane didn't hit as bad as they thought. Especially where I was living but the family I nanny for was nice enough to let me stay with them till the storm blew over.

lovely beach!
