The perfect fall day = chilly temperatures and a brilliant blue sky.

That is exactly what we had on Block Island this weekend.  Morning temps in the mid-30s, warming to the mid-50s in the afternoon.

We walked all over the island, enjoying no crowds and the stunning October scenery.

We ate decadent lobster mac and cheese at Winfield’s and fresh halibut at Eli’s.

The Empire movie theatre was showing The Martian and we almost went….

At night, the stars were unbelievable.  Every constellation was visible.

It was a fabulous weekend.  Something we will do again, very soon!
