Day One on Long Island

Our first full day in Long Island we, of course, went to Port. We all enjoyed walking on the docks in the marina, checking out the boats both humble and extravagant. Suzanne thrilled her parents by insisting on walking solo close to the edge of the elevated dock. A six foot drop into the briny waters wouldn't have killed her, probably, but it sure kept her parents on alert. Who needs coffee?

Eventually, we made our way to the spray park where Elizabeth played (sans bathing suit), the last time we were on the Island, two years ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't functioning. We had fun anyway.

Then we went down to the beach and waded around and looked at shells and rocks.

At Port Jefferson. It was warm and humid. Ferries from Connecticut were coming and going. By the way, and apropos of nothing, that stroller pictured was a godsend on this trip.

Last Gasp of Summer

Sunset the first night.   It's been a good summer, but certainly more constrained than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic...
