It was pretty windy at the Westhampton Bath & Tennis Hotel & Marina, but it was a welcome retreat from the sweltering temps westward.  The resort is really lovely and the staff was gracious and helpful. A brief shoot with tennis pro Doug Dean was great fun as he told me tales of his travels with Kenny Rogers and a few pointers on my backswing.

Picture-perfect Main Street Westhampton offered a lot of inspiration, with shops like Silver Spoons and Rags, to plug a few friendly folks, reflecting awesome colors and culture.

Make SURE you stop at the Beach Bakery Cafe for a sensory delight where young Europeans serve up endless offerings of housemade pastries, cakes, breads and refreshments.  Try the raspberry mint iced tea and a sugar-topped apple dumpling - a whole baked apple inside a perfect pastry orb! - or, the gigantic macaroons.  Worth every calorie!
