I went hiking with my Aunt Dotty McLaughlin today. We walked almost 9 miles at one of my favorite places in the world, Bluff Point Coastal Preserve in Groton, CT.
Dotty knows all the back trails well and even though the path was littered with fallen leaves, we found our way easily with her lead. I love walking with Dot. She's fast and light on her feet and we share the BEST conversations.

The winding, rutty mountain bike trails are quite the workout but so worth the beautiful views. As we crested the bluff above the beach, we stopped to admire the landscape. Dotty pointed out six lighthouses within view from this vantage point. The sea air smells so sweet, the sky is a beautiful cloudless blue and the sun is dazzling off the calm water. As we stood there enjoying the moment, I thought to myself what a wonderful place to anchor our Alberg 35, Mystic.
