Summer vacation has finally arrived and it is off to a great start! School ended on June 15th (half day) and we had a really fun staff party to celebrate. Then Wednesday morning Katie and I packed up the car and headed to Martha's Vineyard for the week. We have been going to the Vineyard for the last three summers and we look forward to it every year. We had Sage and Prescott with us, and Danielle and Elliott met up with us later in the day. Here are just a few of the highlights from the week.
* The first day on the beach Katie spotted a cute guy, but then we saw him smoking, in his minivan & then he pulled out his metal detector and scanned the beach.
* Kim (Katie's mom) joined us Friday-Monday and Sarah came over Saturday-Wednesday.
* We took the dogs for a walk everyday and they behaved (for the most part). We found some really great trails and a nice dog park.
* Sage went into the water a few times (but she is not a very good swimmer, always looks panicked).
* We hit up all of our favorite beachs & restaurants: Aquinnah, State Beach, South Beach, Sharky's, Jimmy Seas, Mad Martha's Ice Cream, Black Dog Tavern & the Lampost.
* We took the tiny, 2 car ferry over to Chappaquiddick and tried a new beach! The picture below is our view from the car, because we were the first car on the ferry. A little scary!
* While on the nude beach (we had to be on the nude side to legally enjoy our drinks) a nude man stopped to ask us if we had any water, because he was really thirsty. Who does that?
* We were really confused seeing a guy sitting at the beach with his potted plant (?).
* Enjoyed some shopping!
* Met a new group of people on the last day at the beach, hung out with them at the Lampost that night and listened to a great band.
* A 65 year old man asked Danielle if she wanted to dance with the world's worst dancer. Her reply, "Um, no thanks!".
* All of us came back really tan (or a little sunburned) and it is only JUNE! Can't wait to see what the rest of the summer will bring...
