We left early September 7th to meet Susan and David Zoia for the ferry trip from Woods Hole to Vineyard Haven on Martha's Vineyard. What a fantastic week was ahead of us.

| We own the beach! |
 |
| Who could ask for anything more! |
 |
| A perfect beach, a perfect day, wonderful friends and a good bottle of wine-a perscription for living in the moment! |

| Jim, Boo and I at the Edgartown lighthouse which was originally built in the 1800s for whaling captains. The whaling industry began to die in the mid 1800s, just as the resort business was beginning. |

| The Outermost Inn |
 |
| The famed "gingerbread cottages" of Oak Bluffs, built in the mid to late 19th century. Originally homes for Methodist camp meetings here were tents. Tents eventually gave way to small wooden cottages which are now historic landmarks. |
 |
| More gingerbread houses right out of a fairy tale |

| Fishing cottages and boats at Menemsha Harbor |
 |
| Gay Head Cliffs-now named Aquinnah, home to the Wampanoag tribe who have inhabited the area for 10,000 years |

| Look at those colors! |
 |
| These beauties would make a great painting. |
