We took three ferries to get from Vermont to the Hamptons.
  • I took my family, including two kids and a dog, on ferries to get from Vermont to the Hamptons.
  • Whether we drive or ride boats, it's a pretty long trip, but the ferry has other benefits.
  • I love that we don't have to deal with driving through busy New York City.

My family — me, my husband, our 8- and 3-year-old daughters, and our wire-haired dog, who's 14 years young — recently took a trip to the Hamptons.
