we landed in oakbluffs, which is on the vineyard. (that's martha's vineyard for those of you who are not in the know). it was lovely but i didn't take any pictures (the picture is from chris' iphone). we were able to test out the new dingy motor that was purchased ...

... not many pictures were taken. i slept for 20 hours a day due to a crazy ear patch medication and spent most of my time comatose, down in the cabin, padded by what i affectionately called my "playpen" (which can be seen in a picture labeled in the Scituate entry).<br><br>it was a rocky start to the year's travels.<br>

I have dreamt about what the Atlantic looks like. Its funny, it looks a lot like the Pacific...except no waves. I flew on a red eye out to Boston and Chris' Mom picked me up from the airport and I ate at took me to breakfast at the Four Seasons in Boston. It was amazing! We had some fresh fruit and eggs benedict. Once there she drove me down to the Ferry dock which is about an hour away from Boston and I hopped on a ferry ...

Nantucket is pretty much exactly how I imagined it. Lots of little shops ranging from tshirts to high priced art galleries. We rented scooters for the day and slowly made our way around the island stopping at the local brewery and a lighthouse. All in all a very nice and calm day. No wifi at the house on the Cape, so updating pictures won't be easy.

Not sure whether people have spent so much on the grooming of their bodies in California and know how to package their plastic mouldings but the beachwear on the East Coast was more Margate. I actually saw an 18 year old in a tankini - I mean these are for mothers not nubile young girls. Open to feedback on that one.

The challenge with the cape is that the days blur together....wake up, have breakfast with Grandpa and Granny Win, play on the lower lawn, visit the Macguires, go for a boat ride, have some ice cream, you get the picture.<br><br>So when someone visits, it is a big deal. Today, Liz and her kids came over for a visit ...

10 years ago, Sue and I were married on Ken Kramer's beautiful grounds of his place in Barnstable. This year we returned with Evie and Tyler to see "the place where mom and dad got married."<br><br> The place is as beautiful as ever and we enjoyed taking some ...

... we have in NC. I would say they are all about the size of Ocracoke or smaller, but there are a ton of them. To get back on the ferry, we went up to the village of Vineyard Haven. By the time we got there, all of the shops were closed, which we hated. There were some really neat ones that we would have liked to see. In Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, the shops were very touristy or were clothing related. The ones in Vineyard Haven had a ...
