Block Island 2004

A great time was had by all. We rented The Sink House, which despite its morose name was a fantastic spot -- a stone's throw from Mansion Beach.

Here are some shots taken around the house:

Did a good deal of hikin'/bikin'/explorin' while we were out there, constantly searching for the perfect photo-op:

The legendary view from the porch of the Surf Hotel
Doggie chillin' at the Red Bird
Spring House Hotel
Grover clinging for dear life near Old Harbor
Barista/guitarist outside of Juice n Java
A shot of the Juice n Java menu (just to prove that there is in fact a drink called the "Moped Wreck")

And of course, there was the beach:
