September is one of my favorite months of the year to travel. You have fantastic weather in both Europe and New England, it’s still beach time in slightly warmer areas, and the kids are back in school, so it’s far less busy.

Like most years, we had a September full of travel plans. But this year, we had some very good times and very bad times.

This month was filled with celebrations and reunions. My sister’s long-awaited wedding on Cape Cod. A friend’s milestone birthday celebration in the UK. A conference filled with friends, just down the road from Prague in Brno.

And then we got hit with COVID for the first time since the pandemic began. First it came for Charlie. A week later, it came for me. I’m still testing positive as I type this out, waiting to recover so I can leave quarantine already.

Let’s take a look at the month!

I finally made it to Martha’s Vineyard!

Highlights

Celebrating my sister’s and brother-in-law’s wedding on the Cape. Sarah and Matt actually got married in 2020, but this was their long-awaited BIG celebration. This was one of the best weddings I have EVER been to (actually, probably THE best?!) and I loved how it was filled with so much love and fun.

I was the maid of honor, and Sarah and Matt brought together an amazing collection of family and friends in a true party setting. One of the highlights was the favors — Cape-themed temporary tattoos in lighthouses, hydrangeas, clams, and sharks! We had so much fun with them!

The wedding was at the Nauset Beach Inn in Orleans, which was wonderful in every way (and set on the Cape’s best beach, Nauset Beach). Also want to give a shout-out to One Step Ahead, an outstanding band that kept us dancing to Lizzo, Montell Jordan, and Earth, Wind and Fire!

A teeny tiny ferry that just barely fits three cars crossing a channel to an island.
Yes, we actually took our car on this.

Visiting Martha’s Vineyard for the first time ever. For more than a decade I’ve joked that Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are my two biggest oversights as a…
