You can’t beat a trip to MV. Although this one started out shaky…
First, the boat was booked going the wrong way (home from the vineyard on Friday, back to it on Mon). Once that was thankfully handled, we headed out to catch the ferry a little behind schedule… however, karma was on our side. We hit absolutely no traffic, made it to Woods Hole in 2 hours 15 min and were on the boat, without a hitch.
We enjoyed 2 days of not-even-a-cloud-in-the-sky sunny weather.
We made it to Long Point Beach on Saturday followed by dinner and drinks in OB. (Dinner at Offshore Ale, drinks on the docks). No apple fritter this year; the line at Back Door Donuts was about 45 minutes!
Sunday we woke up and headed to South Beach. On the way home we visited Morning Glory Farm to get some goodies to make guac and pick up a strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert. Nothing would prepare us though, for the the scene that we came back to. Two (angry) woman sitting on our porch, sipping champagne. Long story short, Vera double-booked Sunday night and we were out of luck. They so kindly packed up our stuff and shoved us out the door…homeless.
After some quick yelp and tripadvisor searches, we found a room at theVineyard Harbor Motel in downtown Vineyard Haven. After a few cocktails to calm the stress we headed to Menemsha for the sunset. Picnic dinner on the beach courtesy of The Bite.
We spent the rest of night chatting and drinking and eating pie back at the hotel beach.
Sunday we explored Aquinnah and Gay Head beach.
Walked around Edgartown…grabbed lunch in Vineyard Haven at The Black Dog, and ate ice cream at Mad Martha’s. We hopped on the boat an hour early and headed back to reality.
Until next time…
