Yesterday, we took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. When we arrived, it was raining, so instead of biking, we bought bus passes...good ole public transportation. We rode the bus out to Edgartown and had lunch on the dock.
Afterwards, we wandered around the town, admiring the homes and churches built as early as 1740.
At this point, we were a bit disenchanted with the bus (standing room only), and although we really wanted to see the clay cliffs, a 2hr. roundtrip bus ride was not appealing to us. We planned on heading back across to Falmouth.
Instead, when we reached the ferry, we spotted a car rental place, and rented a jeep. We spent the next two hours exploring the island. The drive out to Aquinnah (where the cliffs are located) was beautiful.
We wandered through two cemetaries (I am fascinated by old cemetaries, and I have inspired Mark to be, too) where some of the headstones dated back to 1712 and the writing was still intact.
The cliffs were unbelievable.
Here are a few pics from the Vineyard.
Note to kids:
Forrest, hope you had a great time at camp...love you! Chlo, Cam, have a great day! We love you.
