Fisher's Island

We ventured to Fisher's Island, NY for the weekend.  For those of you that don't know, Fisher's Island is a tiny little island that is part of the state of New York located off the coast of Connecticut.  It is accessible only by ferry boat (and private jet).  The island itself has a year round population of less than 300 people, and Matt's brother Mike lives there.  In the summer the population is much higher as it contains many (very large and expensive) summer homes.  It was the off season so it was quiet there when we visited.  There were no fall leaves, probably due to the ocean winds and weather.  Matt and Josh golfed in a tournament on Sunday and we enjoyed some family time the rest of the weekend.  It was a little windy and chilly but we still had a great time!

I have been in jury duty / on a jury all week so things have been a little crazy at our house.  Hopefully it will be over tomorrow and I can resume my normal life!
