5 Things I Loved About Martha's Vineyard

The back patio of Hob's Knob.  Perfect for drinking tea and relaxing after the bike rides.

How beautiful are these bike trials?!  The do a great job at maintaining these trails and it shows.  I'd never get tired of that scenery.

The serenity of Chappaquiddick island. 

Fairy tale houses.

Oyster pickers on Chappaquiddick.  They mate for life, so you'll always see two of them together.  Love is all around.  

Have a great weekend and welcome to March! 

Martha's Vineyard Part II

Welcome to Monday - and to Hob's Knob in Martha's Vineyard.  We stayed at this comfy B&B while we were on the island.  The whole place was so relaxing.  Especially the porch, which made me want a huge porch like this on whatever house I end up in one day. 

Yes, please! 

One the last day we rode our bikes from Hob's Knob in Edgartown to Vineyard Haven.  All along the water again.  This is the bridge where parts of Jaws were filmed.  Snapped a quick photo for ya!

Loved this picture.  Old little boat just hanging out in the water, very peaceful looking. 

We also rode our bikes through the Tisbury area, where all the houses look like gingerbread houses. It was really cute and made you feel like you were in some kind of fairytale. 

After a great trip, we took a ferry back to the mainland and headed to Boston to spend a few more days with my brother.  One of the major successes of the trip was teaching my Mom how to play Words with Friends.  Here she is concentrating very hard! ;) 

Hope you have a great first day of the week. 

Chappaquiddick, MA

We took a break from biking to take a tour of the island right off Martha's Vineyard, Chappaquiddick.  There's a lot of history and drama about the island, which you can google if you're curious, but there's a lot more to offer than that.  Right off the bat though, we crossed the infamous bridge and I snapped a quick picture...very small.

Part of our group in the truck ready to go!

There are no commercial properties on the island, it is very quiet and remote, and beautiful.

Many people fish or hang out on the beach, you can drive your car right up to the water and hang out.

The island's light house, which has been moved a couple times and hopefully found it's permanent home.

It's amazing inside.. the stairs on the way up!  One of my favorite pictures.

My Mom and I on top of the light house - where the view was hard to beat.  

The island is perfect for a day trip - lots to look at and learn about! 

Hob Knob - Martha's Vineyard, MA

This is so delayed from real time, but I must show you all the rest of the pictures from my bike trip out east.  I talked a lot about Nantucket and the things I loved most.  Now it's time for Martha's Vineyard!  We stayed at the Hob Knob, which is a very unique bed and breakfast in Edgartown (on the north-east part of the island.)  It was so cute, our room was adorable and you feel completely at home and comfortable as soon as you walk in!  They also serve an exceptional breakfast.  Everything is made to order, will fill you up and start your day off on the right foot.  My Mom opted from the blueberry pancakes, which were really tasty.

I, obviously, voted for the french toast.  It was so good!  Crispy layer on top sprinkled with powdered sugar -- yum!  As you can see, the portions are nothing to sneeze about; they are sure to fill you up.  

I would recommend staying at this adorable B&B if you're ever on the island.  The accommodations were great, staff was super friendly and the breakfast couldn't get much better!  Look for more of my photos next week.
