Why I Missed Nantucket Daffy Festival 2019

In case you are new to the Preppy Francophile blog or to my Instagram (hello, and thanks for following!), you will quickly discover that a big focus of the blog is my love for Nantucket.

As I wrote in my previous blog post, Nantucket Daffy is one of my favorite weekends, and it is the official kickoff of the Nantucket season.

How could this prep miss it?!

The answer: my nephew turned one on Saturday, and my sister and brother-in-law hosted a small family birthday party for him. The BF and I went down to celebrate. It is always a joy to see B. He is a sweet baby and I cannot get enough time with him.The theme of the party was WHALES!!

I got to see both sets of grandparents celebrate the first anniversary of his birth. Anyone who has watched their parents grow older and battle various health issues (or who has lost a parent before having a child) knows what a treasure this is.

Some of my mom’s sweet family who live nearby came to the party, and it was such a treat to see them. As someone who doesn’t have any living immediate family nearby, I also love seeing my relatives.B had a great time, and he loved his smash cake, which he did not smash, but rather shoveled into his mouth.It turned out that I got the best of both worlds- my family and daffodils! Next year, Daffy Fest! You’ll be there, but this moment in time won’t.Love you, my little man!
