Vacation started off by shoveling a giant pile of sand with Dave's family for the backyard volleyball court.

Duke was king of the sandpile

Heading to Martha's Vineyard on the Pied Piper...

Dave is going to the clubhouse at Cotuit after the Pizza Golf tournament. Dave & I birdied the first hole. Overall, Team Curley was 3 under par - Yay team.

Duke is playing with rubber duckie in the pool while trying to get the pool toys on the steps. This is as far as he'd go without being thrown in!!

The Boston skyline on our drive home from the Cape.

Duke is checking out the other boats a couple of hours before the Burlington, VT fireworks.

Me and the Duke on the boat before the fireworks.

The fireworks were very long!!!

I am enjoying the fireworks!
