we didn't have much time to recuperate from the party. we were up early this morning to drive to montauk to see nana and nonno.
nonno was marching in the montauk memorial day parade . .
and we arrived just in time!hmm . . i saw more through the camera. they marched by so quickly.
afterwards, we went with aunt kathy to ditch plains where the girls went for a walk and collected seashells.
and managed to swim in the cold water!
nana and nonno had baked morgana an apple pie . . so we sang happy birthday again and she opened her gift from them and aunt kathy (a beautiful grey cotton sweater that she had asked for from the olive juice catalog).
we left later than we should have on monday morning. m and c and their friend deychen were very absorbed in a game of montauk "townopoly." we said good-bye at noon, and it took us three hours to get past southampton! i worried that we wouldn't make their 6:00 pm quintet rehearsal on time, but we were lucky and did not hit traffic on either the belt parkway or the gowanus expressway. we arrived at DTW at 5:40. i was so relieved!
