Weekend on the Block

On Saturday morning, I set out for yet another weekend jaunt. This time the location was Block Island. My college roommate, who is from Texas, visits the island with her (extended) family every summer. Which means 30+ people split between two houses, handfuls of kids running around, shared cars, and lots of activity. And, as if that wasn’t enough, every year, she also invites her friends to visit, with people sleeping on bunk beds or even the floor where necessary. Although I hadn’t gone in the past, this year I was able to make arrangements with yet another old roommate (at one time there were 8 of us in a suite!) to visit together. Another girl we lived with was there at the same time, and the four of us had a great time touring the island, visiting the lighthouses and the bluffs, hiking, climbing, walking on the beach, eating seafood, and, of course, shopping.

The house we stayed in.

Hiking down to the bluffs.

Then we had to hike back up!

Such pretty flowers everywhere on Block Island! (Some of the hydrangeas were also an amazing shade of blue.)
