Good Morning All,
Well, I am proud to say that I have now visited the wonderful Martha's Vineyard and I must say it was not what I expected. I was expecting million dollar homes but I was shocked that it just looked like the regular Cape Cod experience. The ferry ride was fun, but at the same time it was cold. We had a great time. A great deal of walking, shopping and relaxing took place. The island is rather expensive for even the littlest items. The weather was 70-75 degrees with no humidity but had a constant ocean front breeze.
Have any of you been to the Vineyard? If so where did you arrive and what was your experience?
I arrived at Falmouth and departed on the ferry to Oaks Bluff. What a fantastic port to arrive in. People were extremely friendly and willing to help us (tourist) out. I was just amazed that the people were friendly but at the same time it makes sense because they are nice to try to get you into their little shops to have your purchase goods.
The only Item I bought was a lobster magnet. I am sure I’ll be writing more in the future. The fairs are starting. Topsfield MA, as well as Deerfield NH are approaching rapidly at the end of the month and I plan on blogging about them as well.
Thanks for reading

Hey Justin,
ReplyDeleteWe went to MV 2 years ago. We took the same ferry and had the same pleasant experience with the people on the island. We went to Chappaquiddick to see the bridge that Ted Kennedy drove off in 1969 killing Mary Jo Kopechne. It was kind of eerie to be there at the site of some an infamous event.

Martha's Vineyard, was nice. I did see the bridge that Ted Kennedy drove off. It did have an eerie feeling to it. I do not think I will go back anytime soon. I feel that Rockport and Newburyport is just as nice and is closer to my home in Salisbury :)
ReplyDeleteI have visited Martha's Vineyard but it was a nice day. I arrived the same way you did and in the same town as you only we rented a convertible volkswagen and traveled the island on a beautiful summer's day. I was not making sea glass jewelry at the time but I wish I knew that many years ago that I was going to have interest in it because I'm sure there would have been more sea glass finds than you can find today. The last time I was there was for breakfast and I arrived on my boyfriends small plane....we took it there one morning to have breakfast and that was pretty amazing.
