More Bike Riding
Took our last bike ride this morning through the State Forest again - dodging puddles from the rain last night. Forgot that we had the geocache GPS with us and looked for some of the geocaches we downloaded before coming to the island. We found 4 of them as we drove around doing other fun things today. Stopped to take another go at miniature golf - Drew and Mary Ann tied for par. Then capped off the day with a visit to Gay Head to go up the lighthouse and see our last sunset while we are on the island. ... read more
On the Bike Trail
And again we started the day off with a bike ride. This time we took a little different route heading into Edgartown and looping back around to the State Forest along Barnes Road. We headed up island to Aquinnah where Gay Head cliffs is located. The boys had fun jumping the waves on Gay Head beach. There was a warning for Portugeuse Man of War (a poisonous jellifish) - kind of freaky. And a big hunk of wood came ashore out of nowhere. After the beach we got a few pictures of the cliffs and the lighthouse. No sunset tonight unfortunately because the clouds and some rain swooped in. ... read more
Our Morning Bike Ride
Another 15 mile bike ride this morning then off to some touring of the island. We visited the Field Gallery - always enjoy taking pictures with the field sculptures. Then off to the Glass Works to see blowing of a great vase. Drew had the chance to throw some pottery at Chilmark Pottery. And we capped off the day with sailing on Edgartown Harbor watching a beautiful sunset.... read more
Osprey Nest at Felix Neck Sanctuary
Kayaking at the Felix Neck Nature Sanctuary was amazing. Saw many varieties of crabs and critters, cormorantes, a blue heron, and lots of mussels clinging to the salt marsh shore line. Headed off to Menemsha to hang at the beach for the rest of the day and enjoy an amazing sunset.... read more
The "On Time" Ferry to Chappaquidik
Started off with another bike ride. Ended up being about 15 miles because we got lost in the forest (stop laughing). We decided to check out the Cape Pogue lighthouse on Chappaquidik Island. Takes a ferry ride from Edgartown and then an over sand vehicle ride to see this peaceful sight. We could see about 5 miles from on top - great views. Spent some time in Edgartown: great seafood dinner and then of course ice cream again. It was so clear we decided to stop at South Beach to see the sunset. Just beautiful.... read more
View of the House
We settled in today starting with a 10 mile bike ride. Sean and Mary Ann shared a tandem bike while Dean and Drew rode hybrids. We headed out to South Beach at Katama and the boys enjoyed time "swimming" into the waves and battling the seaweed. Of course we had to go into town to have ice cream at Mad Martha's and then buy some fudge at Murdichs. We tried to catch the sunset at Menemsha Harbor but the clouds got in the way. Still a beautiful peaceful sight.... read more
The Ferry Arriving in Woods Hole
The ferry ride over was bright and sunny on calm waters. We always enjoy seeing the Vineyard get closer and the boats that "welcome" us in the harbor.... read more

Castle Rock
We headed north today to Denver. On the way we passed Castle Rock and saw a freight train along the way. Our friends, The Reilly's, were kind enough to have us over and the boys swam in their pool and enjoyed their hot tub. We all went to the Colorado Rockies game and met up with Nan and her sons - its been a long time since we've seen everyone and it was great to catch up and enjoy the game together.... read more
