Martha's Vineyard Part I

After the tour of Nantucket we took a large ferry, with our bikes in tow, to Martha's Vineyard.  Once we landed in Oak Bluffs we took off on a ride that ended us in Edgartown where our bed and breakfast was.  The ride there was so pretty, right along the water on the north eastern side of the island.

Plus the weather was perfect, can't ask for much more! 

After we checked into the hotel we headed south to South Beach.  The way there was rolling hills and beautiful scenery.  Couldn't help but stop and take a picture of this flower stand on the side of the road.

It was the perfect time to be on the island, there were hardly any tourists.  Especially nice when you want to relax on a beach and you have the whole place to yourself!

On the way back to our hotel we passed Katama Airpark with private planes flying in and out.

Now time for some relaxation on the patio of Hob's Knob.  With a warm cup of tea - great way to end the day.

The next day was the longest ride of the whole trip.  We headed from the east side of the island to the west side, Aquinnah.  The winding roads lead us through a bunch of small towns and past many large ponds.  

When we got to Aquinnah we had a nice picnic lunch and enjoyed the views.

More pictures later this week.  Hope you have a great Monday! 

Boats, Beaches & the Kennedy's - Cape Cod

Before my Mom's and my bike ride started we had a couple days to hang out with my brother and his girlfriend in Cape Cod.  It's a really quaint area, and beautiful to walk around and that's exactly what we did.  While I took endless amounts of pictures, of course :) 

My cool brother!  Wish he lived a little closer! 

We were walking by the water when all the fishing boats were coming in for the day.  This boat had a pretty successful day. 

My Mom found a boat named after her! 

Not being from the area we had no idea what these little creatures were, or if they were still alive.  Hence my brother touching one with a shoe.  Come to find out they're pretty interesting, called the horseshoe crab, they've been around since the dinosaurs!  They molt, and their shells wash up on shore.  Glad they weren't alive and trying to bite us!

Of course, we had to take walk by the Kennedy compound.  Which was beautiful, and didn't seem to have any security.  We found out later that if no one is actually there it's relatively quiet.  It was cool because we were able to snap some good pictures of the place.

This is a picture from a golf course close to the Kennedy compound, what a beautiful view of the ocean! 

After being tourists, we sat down to relax and have some drinks.  My brother ordered the very manly pink drink, which he was apparently super comfortable drinking :)

My brother's girlfriend and I after dinner hanging out on one of the "boats."  I really enjoyed the couple days we had to discover Hyannis and the Cape Cod area.  It's beautiful and fortunately for us we were there after Labor Day so it wasn't jam packed with tourists.  Hopefully I will be back!
