Nantucket, Fairy Tales, and Dreams
This is a re-edited published post. Originally published in 2015 after moving to the Oregon coast. I re-published it again in 2017 while vacationing in Southern California.

If you want your children to be more intelligent read them more fairy tales.” ~Albert Einstein Hello! I’m currently in California & decided to re-edit a post from when I visited Nantucket right after moving to the Oregon Coast in 2015. It’s personally one of … Read the full blog post
