Martha's Vineyard

My daughter planned the perfect trip to Martha's Vineyard.  She is a skilled navigator and able to identify all four ferries from a distance, which was one of our favorite pastimes.  We have different ways of doing things, which works in our favor most of the time.  Every meal was good and all the baked goods were delicious.  We drank five different kinds of coffee, some of the beans roasted right on the island.

I decided early on that I couldn't capture in a photo everything I wanted to share about the island of Martha's Vineyard.  Each town, harbor, and ocean view was special in its own way.  Each scene is a reminder that I was really there and that I plan to return soon ~
