Our annual trip to Martha's Vineyard
takes place at the end of April...

the week before the place gets rockin'
Our adventure begins(and ends)at the ferry.
The fare is pretty steep for cars
but you can walk on for $15 round trip
of course, dogs travel free!

Greeted by a welcoming committee of one...
"Rusty"

we stay at the sometimes funky
but
always
adequate
Island Inn.
They allow dogs during the "shoulder seasons".

We enjoy the gingerbread
of Oak Bluffs

and the shops and sights of
Edgartown.
( I can't wait to get my sea-legs! )
Of all the beaches,
Lambert's Cove

although Katama
and Gayhead

are also
spectacular.
