This Father's Day weekend, we had some unexpected house guests. We were happy to have them, but we got a little off our groove and didn't get the camera's battery charged to record our epic journey to Montauk Point. This is the absolute end of Long Island and they don't call it "long" for nothing. We finally arrived, wowed by the historic lighthouse and stretched our legs for lunch at the playground. One family shared their kite with the girls and everyone seemed to find a friend. Then, it was off to the beach...
Let's just say, we were the only ones with a blanket and beach ball. The shore was incredibly rocky and everyone under 5 feet was leaking complaints about the smell of dead starfish. So far, this was just Father's Day. We packed everyone up again and traveled 10 minutes south to find tons of free parking and gorgeous sandy beaches. So THIS is the Hamptons. Finally, we put the "Happy" in Happy Father's Day and got our groove back on as the live band at Nick's restaurant wailed our play out music.
Sunday, between church responsibilities and house guest needs, we snuck in an hour at the botanical gardens where roses were the main attraction for most visitors, but our brood was keeping it real rolling down the grassy hills and chasing "Indy." This time, we had the camera and the battery was charged, but I left the battery at home. =( Plenty of beach and garden pictures ahead, though.
