We are in the final countdown, folks. And it’s around this time when I’ve just about crossed off all the things on my list (ok, nowhere near, but perhaps I’ve just surrendered at this point), and I try to take some time to soak up the hustle and bustle a bit without being part of it per se. Andrew and I have created a little tradition of bopping around our neighboring town or Warren, Rhode Island for a cocktail (or two) and a good meal while stopping in to pick up any last minute odds and ends.

It doesn't matter how many times I hop on a ferry to that little island 30 miles out to sea I always seem to get lost in all the magic that resonates on every cobblestone. So simply strolling the streets of Nantucket always ranks as one of my favorite pastimes when we visit.
Read MoreI love Nantucket. It's really hard not to love that sweet little island. And although the summer is magic, I think the off season might be my favorite time to visit. The crowds have gone back to their busy lives, and the island slows down a bit. Back to real island time. And I love that.
