Newport

We were talking about Bercy and the Bruce Springstein concert!
We had a terrific weekend. 
We arrived in Newport for the International Tenis Hall of Fame Induction.  Our friend, Peachy Kellmeyer, and Andre Agassi. were inducted this year.  At 1:15am Friday our hotel was evacuated because the fire alarms went off for about 10 minutes.
On Friday we played tennis on the grass courts and I had to take this picture of Todd Martin and Bart.
Some picture highlights of the weekend.
That's Peachy.
Steffi and their children (in hats).
John Isner is 6'9" and this little ball boy had to stand on tip-toe to hand John a towel.

Flowers, Vegetables and Boats

On our way out of Falmouth yesterday, we stopped at Jen's house to check out her front and side yards.. Jen is a friend of Chris and Virginia's and a former SEA captain.
Then we drove to South Dartmouth, MA where we spent the night at Winnie and Jim Phyfe's house.  We took a short trip on their boat, the Aristea, to their mooring.  Jim sailed this boat from New Zealand to New Bedford, MA last year (12,500 miles).  Winnie and Jim lived at 1 Grace Church Street right across from 1 Milton Road in Rye, NY and Jim was a partner at Davis Polk. 
Winnie at the helm.

Beach Time and Martha's Vineyard

On Monday we went to Wood Neck Beach where there were crabs and small jellyfish - and plenty of sand.  There's a salt marsh on one side of the dunes and Buzzard's Bay is on the other.
On Tuesday, Bart and I took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard and rented bikes for the day.  Arriving at Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard.
The Flying Horses Carousel (before we rode on it).
We had a delicious salad lunch at Morning Glory Farm - sorry no picture.
