Day 1- Amy

Hi, my name is Amy. I am 14, and a native brit, who moved to the United States 6 years ago, and have now been AMERICANIZED!! I came to Nantucket with Cody and Tori still recovering from my families all-in-one-go-21-hour-car-trip-to-florida, a journey I will never be able to forget. I have relitivly small family of four + 2 puppies, Bailey and Coco. This is a blog all about our trip, and it goes like this...

The morning was inevitable, we all knew that it was going to be difficult, changing wake up time from around noon to around 6:30 was going to be a bloody large wake up call for Cody…we were going to need a lot of coffee. Tori had a very, very pathetic breakfast of honey nut cheerios, while Cody and I just decided to skip it, no hunger, and no energy, great for a road trip!! We were on the road for just over 4 1/2 hours when we reached Hyannis, a place that had nothing other than strip malls, and commerical fishing buildings. We headed to the ferry boat place, and boreded the boat at about 1 PM. I was so excited, because I have a thing for Ferry Boats, (which, I like to call fairy boats because at night when the windows light up at sea, they look like little faries.)

The trip ferry trip felt like a movie. All three of us had our feet up, the wind was blowing our hair, and I was listening to all oy favorite songs, which really changed the mood of the boat. The ride was two hours and 15 minutes, but felt like no time at all! When we arrived, our breath was taken away by the view, of the idylic new england views of light houses, and the grey house with the white trim, which is maditory in Nantucket. Every house must habe the same material, color and trim!

When we arrived at the house, we were amazed at how beautiful it was. It looked like the perfect beach house, shells, and pastel colors everywhere. Tori, Cody and I were excited to find out that we had the garage apartment, with a direct walkway into the upside down house. It was awsome! We settled down, unpacked, and showered. Our Adventures were just begining!
