Adoration

I adore this kid.

I mean, seriously.

She rocks the block.

Add to her visit an unexpected visit with friends from The Road -- friends we met in the Florida Keys back in The Day, who, they claim, we haven't seen in ten years . . .

. . . ten years!

. . . mix it up altogether with a boatyard in Mystic . . .

. . . and a cool Dad . . .

. . . (a wicked cool dad) . . .

. . . and a trendy -- a worthily trendy -- new place on the water across the Big Bad Bridge . . .

. . . complete with boat slips . . .

. . . and, you know, a boat . . .

. . . and well, we've got ourselves the beginning of a Time here in southeastern Connecticut . . .

. . . a Fabulous Time.

And that was only Day One.
