The Vineyard

Hello from Martha's Vineyard! This Bee is on vacation this week in Edgartown, on Martha's Vineyard, with Mr. Bee and Little Bee. Here they are going to the Edgartown Lighthouse. What a great way to kick off the start of Summer. The weather has been great so far, in the 70's and sunny. I love the Vineyard. With all the art galleries and the unbelievable beaches I don't know if I want to leave!


Here's the little one after a long day at the beach, out cold on the couch.

See you in a week!

A Very Cool Image

Today on the Google homepage, Google has paid tribute to Eric Carle's iconic children's book the Very Hungry Caterpillar by changing the logo on its home page. Today is the 40th Anniversary of when the book was first published. And this just so happens to be my daugthers favorite book right now! We're hoping to make a trip over to the The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art too.

Also, on March 2, 2009 Google paid tribute to Dr. Seuss's Birthday with a Google logo too. Again another family favorite in our house. I don't think you're ever to old to enjoy The Cat in the Hat.
