martha's vineyard

i had so much fun celebrating at katie's bachelorette.  katie and ashley are the most thoughtful hostesses, and we lucked out with gorgeous weather, as well as fireworks, concerts, great people and the amazing illumination festival.

the lovely hostesses

hundreds of the gingerbread cottages light up the night with japanese lanterns one night per summer - magical!

so much prettier in person!

i spent a lot of time playing with rocks...

the fireworks were insane!  i think because president obama and family were there.
