Martha's Vineyard, MA - Part II

We arrived on Martha's Vineyard a day early to take advantage of the sites. Greg drove us and the Zimmers (another college roommate) out to Gay Head to see the Aquinnah Cliffs and the Gay Head Lighthouse. We passed lovely stacked stone walls and beautiful and serene beaches.

After our leisurely jaunt to the upper island, we drove into Edgartown, the main town on MV, for lunch. We were drawn by the waterfront patio and the menu of the Atlantic Fish & ChopHouse.

 
Sailing's a big deal in these parts.

 
 
 
 
Although seafood is the name of the game on the island, I was able to find freshly prepared vegetables, like this amazingly succulent asparagus.

 

Getting to Martha's Vineyard, MA

Andy's college roommate, Dan, was getting married on Martha's Vineyard this fall. We never pass up on a destination wedding, so we made the trip up to Massachusetts from Atlanta.

Getting to Martha's Vineyard (MV) is surprisingly easy. We arrived in Boston's Logan Airport and took the Peter Pan bus to Woods Hole. The bus dropped us off right at the Woods Hole Harbor, where the Steamship Authority offers an hourly ferries to MV.

We had about a half hour to spare, so we stopped in the appropriately named, Quicks Hole for a speedy bite.

 
I loved seeing the many varieties of hot sauces they had on hand.

And we're on a boat heading to Martha's Vineyard!

 
Another college roommate of Andy's, Greg, picked us up on the island, and we found our way to our rental house that we found on VRBO.

 
The house is located a little off the beaten path, but it was less than 10 minutes away from the wedding and offered a rustic and secluded retreat.

 
For the six of us staying in the cottage, it was comfortably furnished and most importantly, didn't break the bank!
