Sprite Island Yacht Club

Yesterday, Richie and I spent the day with Barbara and Frank, a friend of mine from work and her husband. We had plans to go sailing, but the weather was supposed to turn stormy, so we didn't take a chance getting caught out in the storm.

Instead, we visited the SoNo Arts Festival that was going on in Norwalk. There were many vendors and local artists displaying and selling their work. It was a great atmosphere with many exciting things to look at and purchase.

After the Arts festival, we headed out to Sprite Island Yacht Club, which our friends belong to. SIYC is actually an island which is part of the 8 Norwalk Islands that I didn't even know existed! The island was quiet and relaxing, with many things that you could do. They have a private beach, kayaks, a club house, picnic tables, and charcoal grills to cook on. We brought food and drink for lunch and sat at one of the picnic tables looking out at the water. It was a wonderful day and we can't wait to do it again!
