We just returned from an amazing few days in Martha's Vineyard - a lovely, sleepy beach island off the coast of Cape Cod. We got really lucky with the weather conditions since it was a balmy 75F most of the time - according to the locals this time of year is usually chilly and rainy. We stayed at a lovely B&B called The Hob Knob Inn in Edgartown and we rode cruisers to the beaches almost everyday! The first day we got there we biked over the Chappaquidick Island - famous for the Ted Kennedy 'incident' in the late 60s - and visited a Japanese Garden that is maintained by locals on the island, we also had lunch on the beach, which was beautiful and mostly deserted!
Day two consisted of a 3 hour kayak around Edgartown and into the estuary where we saw tons of wildlife and were treated to some beautiful views of the island. Day three was a trip to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven to walk around the towns and into all the local shops - we also feasted on some amazing fresh calamari and mussels.
Day Four was a wonderful morning spent in Aquinnah and Menemsha admiring the lighthouses and coastal scenery, we drove back to the hotel for the afternoon and then biked a few miles out to Katama Beach (it was a toasty 78F that day!). Finally we headed back to Menemsha, with a stop by the Menemsha Fish Market and picked up some smoked bluefish and two fresh caught lobsters. We toasted to two wonderful years of marriage on Menemsha Beach at sunset overlooking the Nantucket sound, with our toes in the sand !!
We are now perfectly relaxed and stuffed full of lobster (I'm not kidding we had lobster almost everyday - upon Bryan's insistence!). It was so wonderful to spend a weekend away together because we realized how much happier marriage has made both of us! I posted a link for some pictures from the highlights of our trip below, enjoy!!
