Nantucket Cisco Brewery 10th Anniversary Party

Remember the song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack,  I Had The Time of My Life?  That has been this weekend, 100%.  Our 10th Anniversary Celebration filled with over 40 family and friends from around the country could not have been more perfect.

We wanted a venue that was casual and laid back like us, Ok…like Aaron I mean:)

So we chose one of our favorite Island destinations, Cisco Brewery  And the venue filled the bill perfectly.

A family (and dog) friendly atmosphere, oh how Tucker would have loved it!

With offerings for adults like their yummy Triple 8 Vodka–my fav. being the blueberry one.  They even named a custom cocktail for us, “The 10 year itch” ha ha very funny guys.  One of the very special twists were wooden spoons of jam that you could stir in at your leisure to sweeten the drink at your own pace.  Super clever eh?

And fun for children or even just the young at heart.

It’s not a party without some live music

Pretty ladies

We served yummy sliders fresh from the grill, chowder from the Sea Grill, coleslaw, some greens and

Pepperidge Farm Nantucket cookies, naturally.  Little cookie monsters like this little friend, who thoroughly enjoyed them.

Graced by both our families

And by so many friends

who feel like family.

Feels almost like an embarrassment of riches (no pun intended Dad)

Special thanks to ALL who helped to make it happen, like Jay from Cisco, R&D for your generous everything, A.V. for the slaw, John for the pics., Vanessa & Richie who surprised us so generously, Dwight our awesome bartender and others who schlepped and passed out food, watched kiddos and so much more.  It was such a fantastic time.

…And there’s more.  Like sailing, A Father’s Day Brunch and other assorted fun.  Check back for more of the weekend recap tomorrow and the next.  There’s oh so much to share.

 

 

 

 

Gettin’ Ready

We are starting to get ready for our 10th Anniversary Nantucket Celebration Weekend.

Prepping table decorations

Like squashing texturally interesting succulents into conch shells

for a simple elegant beach effect.

Chicago cousins arriving on the scene

Some of my best gal pals from across the country, and they are just the first.  Many more still to arrive.

Stay tuned we are just gettin’ started here.  Loads of family, friends and fun over the next few days.  I can’t wait.

Even my daughter’s know a good thing.

My favorite island farm and nursery, Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm takes the guess work out of composition, sun requirements, etc.  Love the mono-chromactic example above

Another for full-sun…

Sun Foliage…

Shade with awesome texture…

And my occasisonal m.o., “low maintenance.”

Even quaint ledges are treated without neglect

Thanks for the spectacular display Islanders.

 

Beach Days = The Best Days

‘Nuff said.

50 Shades of Grey

Nantucket is known as the Grey Lady, and do you know why?  Apparently it has something to do with fog (which we have had none of as of yet) or weathered shingles or something…but whatever, there are 50 shades 0f it, at least here.

Harborside Grey

Sconset Light Grey

And Greenish Grey (that you can also see right out to the Atlantic Ocean Grey…)

Chilln’ at Cisco Grey

A Cottage So Cute and Tiny I want to Take it Home and Put it in my Pocket Grey.

Sunset Through The Clouds Grey

Cliffside and Fog Starting To Roll in Grey.

Easy Street Grey

Cars with a Sense of Humor Grey

Roses Growing on the Fence Grey

Cobblestone Grey

Galley Grey

I could go on and on as I’m certain there are more than 50 shades here…
