Njengomntwana okhulela kuNxweme oluseNtshona, iNantucket yayiyenye yezo totems, kunye neekholeji zobugcisa be-liberal, ukuwa kwamagqabi, kunye ne-lobster roll, yendlela yokuphila ye-WASP endiyijongileyo ngokunzulu ukuba ndonwabile. (Kwaye, ewe, kuye kwavela izinto ezimbalwa ezingcolileyo endizifundileyo.) Ndaye ndayeka ukuya kwikholeji yezobugcisa eyimbali e-Connecticut, kwaye ndenze ngaphezulu kwesabelo sam sokukhangela amagqabi kunye nokutya i-lobster, kodwa Khange ndiyifumane indlela eya eNantucket de ndikhule ngokwenyani- ndiyathetha, nditshatile kwaye ndaba nabantwana. Kwaye ngelixa ndiqinisekile ukuba bendinokudubuleka kwisiqithi esidumileyo emazantsi eKapa Cod ukuba bendindwendwele xa ndandisemncinci, andinakuthetha ngokwaneleyo ngamava okuhamba nosapho lwakho impelaveki ende . Ivakala ngathi yenzelwe le ndawo.
Oko kuqala ngendiza. Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, iJetBlue ibisinika iinqwelomoya ngqo ezivela eNew York, apho sihlala khona, ezithatha ngaphezulu nje kweyure-umoya ovuthuzayo xa kuthelekiswa neenqwelomoya zaseNtshona Coast esiziqhelileyo. Ufika kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya esincinci-esigutyungelweyo, ngokwendalo, sinemisedare engapeyintwanga efanayo oyibonayo naphi na apho uya khona edolophini- kwaye kwangoko uziva usihla usiya kwisantya esincinci, isikali esisondeleyo, isakhelo sempelaveki. Iindawo ekuchithelwa kuzo iiholide kwisiqithi saseNantucket zazilindele ukulayisha inzala yam - mna, inkosikazi, intombi yethu eneminyaka emithathu ubudala, kunye nonyana wethu oneminyaka eli-1 ubudala -sisa kwindawo yethu yokuhlala Elephants White (indawo yokuhlala eyi- $ 195; ngaphezulu ngexesha eliphakamileyo; vula u-Epreli ukuya ku-Okthobha) Igumbi lokulala elinamagumbi amabini okulala, igumbi lokuhlambela elinamagumbi amabini okuhlalisa phakathi kwegadi, kunye neveranda kunye ne-washer kunye ne-dryer kunye nokungena kwayo ngaphambili nangasemva. Sithe xa sipakisha, saqonda ukuba sizilibele izinto zokuhlamba zabantwana, kodwa khange ibekho ngxaki. Ipropathi yasinika yonke indalo, iimveliso zehypoallergenic ezivela kwiDolphin Organics. Olu luhlobo lwenkonzo oyithandayo kakhulu xa uhamba nabantwana abancinci.
Sasiza kuza ngeempelaveki yoSuku lwaBasebenzi, kwaye ngelixa imozulu yayingashushu, ngokuqinisekileyo yayifudumele ngokwaneleyo ukuba isebenzise iphuli, apho safumana isifuba sobutyebi seeodles, iibhodi zokukhaba, kunye neeflethi ezahlukeneyo. Omnye umzali uya kujinga nabantwana njengoko bevavanya-baqhuba iithoyi zamachibi ngelixa omnye ebekwe esitulweni somgangatho phantsi kwesambrela, eneneni ukufikelela kwimigca embalwa yenoveli. Indlovu emhlophe ikwanazo neenqwelo ezibomvu zeRadio Flyer ezifumanekayo ukuboleka, nto leyo esiyenzileyo, sikhwelisa abantwana kwi-Children's Beach ekufuphi - ewe, iNantucket inenye, ngaphandle nje kwedolophu, enikezelwe ukuba isetyenziswe ngabantu abancinci.
