We didn't take any pictures of this, but last week we went on our first big adventure, to the private island of Naushon, next to Martha's vineyard! Thanks to Ixa's granDinny, a Forbes, part of the family whose trust the island is in. We drove 2 hours to Woodshole, then scouted out the unmarked, free ferry for family and guests only... Kami barely made it as he had to park the car in the coast guard lot. We were both very nervous about cutting it so close, but Ixa slept the whole time in the car and then in her snugli until we arrived at Stonehouse. There are no cars on the island, except a tractor and truck or two, but there are lots of horses, sheep, donkeys and a lama.
The house was the biggest house we have ever stayed at- it must have almost 15 bedrooms, all filled with antique furniture! Our room had a chaise lounge that was the gift of Ralph Waldo Emerson (also in the family). Ixa was held by lots of people and is the special favorite of 90- year-old Faith, Dinny's mom who hosts everyone on the island. Kami went swimming at night with Pan and Dinny to enjoy the bioluminescence, and he saw a shooting star named Ixa.
"Folkdreams" is now "iXa's bL0g"
(but really written by these two)
