Home from the Southampton

Southampton was a blast. We went to Coopers Beach, where the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. It was not too hot and not too humid. The pictures below are on the way to Cooper Beach on Meadow Lane. I couldn’t resist getting out of the car to get these shots!

We stayed at the 1708 House, which is a Bed & Breakfast on North Main Street. It’s the perfect location because you’re only a few steps away from the “downtown” area of Southampton. If you’re looking for a good place for lunch be sure to head to the Golden Pear, which is a Southampton sandwich shop. It was so good we had it two days in a row! After lunch at the Golden Pear we were craving gelato so we headed to Sant Ambroeus on Main Street, which was a recommendation from Heather Clawson of Habitually Chic. If they have the Pistachio, I highly recommend it. Oh, one more thing; The funniest thing about Southampton is that they have signs everywhere saying “Notice: All Persons Are Required to Wear Proper Attire on Our Public Streets.” Love this sign!

The wedding celebration on Saturday was a traditional East Coast Clambake. I’d never been to a clambake before and I wish they could become a tradition on the West Coast. The lobster was amazing, the clams and mussels were amazing and the steak was to die for.

Sunday was all about driving around Southampton, Bridgehampton, East Hampton and all the way up the coast to Montauk. We stopped on highway 27 for seafood at Lobster Roll. It’s a famous restaurant that’s been serving the same lobster roll for forty years. Spending the day driving from town to town with Eric was a treat. It was nice to spend some quality time together. As we drove back to New York we kept talking about how glad we were that we got to go on this trip together. It was a fun adventure we had in the Hamptons that we’ll never forget.
