we had a wonderful july 4th weekend adventure exploring montauk which (for those of you who dont know) is at the very end of long island. the adventure begins with the journey as we took none other than the vehicle of my son's dreams, the double decker diesel train also known as the "cannonball". Jamaica station to montauk in just over a couple hours which he ended up sleeping most of the way & I got to actually enjoy my book which gave me an interesting insight into the history of the area. Montauk was actually consider a sacred site for many of the tribes of Long Island with Montauk Point being a very important burial site as it is the eastern most point to meet the rising sun. 
since we were on foot, we brought an extra set of wheels with us which can in very handy during our wanderings and encounters with sea creatures and snow cones...
amazing sunsets..... sea birds....
surely the land of fisherman, pirate stories and sand castle building......
bold colors and sunshine.....
vistas and sailing vessels.....
salty air and bare feet.....
and something to discover around every corner.....these are the bits that get us through those long winter months... the promise of these salt water adventures..... here's to the next one!
