Well, dear WASPs summer is finally here! The trunks are packed for camp and the station wagon is being loaded up with all the essentials for the summer house and the weather is not too hot (yet). Muffy and I will be taking a WASP Wednesday vacation until August (as many of you will be away!) and here is where I dream of going (and will be going in late June or early August!): Sea Island! 
Of course WASPs love to spend time at their summer homes by the sea and at their weekend country houses, but WASPs also love a good resort. It is lovely to jet off and get away for a week and not have to worry about a thing...well except for the time of your next squash or tennis lesson and what time to pick the WASP itty bittys up from the children's program. There are loads of WASP destination resorts, but I am going to concentrate on the one I love the most.
I have been going to Sea Island since I was two (for 23 years now- wow!). The island is full of Southern WASPs who like their northern cousins just wanted to get away from the city for the weekend. While SI is still quite WASPy I will be the first to admit that the new hotel is far less WASPy than the old Cloister. Charm can still be found in the wonderful Solarium and the dinners are still as wonderful as ever, but it is different. Since WASPs are creatures of habit I am sure many will tell you they miss the 'old' days.
However, the renovation did bring a very WASPs addition: squash courts and a squash pro! No more leaving the island to get in a game, now the WASP can enjoy a quick match before dinner and bingo! While WASP father is playing squash and WASP mother is off reading the latest New Yorker WASP children are kept busy at the children's program (the age groups have names like the Cubs and Sandpipers!). However, in the late afternoon they can be found charging up a storm at the snack bar and ice cream parlor (Hopsy was this child...but I added in the Cloister Collection too). After a long day's work the WASP family reunites for dinner in the main hotel, WASP mother sports her newest do and WASP teenage daughter the newest Tibi boutique find, and then some after dinner dancing! What a perfect day had by all!
