Just a tiny windswept island.
What more would you have it be,
With a turquoise sky above it,
Around it a sapphire sea."

-Mary Starbuck, favorite Nantucket poet

How do you celebrate summer?

Is there a tradition you continue, year after year, that always jump starts "school’s out for summer"?

This is how we start summering every year.

Flying into Nantucket, in a tiny Cape Air eight seater, with my kids flying co-pilot, is literally a beautiful bird’s eye view of the perfect summer paradise.

Summer, in my book, by definition is Nantucket.

Cheers to your family special summer soirees.
