Scott and Cara briefing themselves on airplane emergency procedures
Dillon and Oscar saying Hi!
After arriving in Boston and picking up our 2 rental vans we drove about an hour and a half to Woods Hole MA to get on a ferry to MV which is about a 45 min boat ride away!So, a little information about Martha's Vineyard, I didn't have much knowledge before we went. My parents and brother's family have been several times but this was the first time for us. Martha's Vineyard is a island off of Massachusetts. It is 87 square miles big but only 20 miles from one end to the other. About 15,000 people call it home annually but the population swells to about 75,000 during summers (especially weekends). The cost of living is about 60% higher on the island.
the three of us on the ferry, it was a bit chilly and windy but spectacular views
I loved the cape cod houses
Killing time on the boat, my brother Michael with his cell and Ipad and Scott reading a book
Snuggling with Mommy to stay warm

Oscar and Cara
Once we were on the island we went to a restaurant for dinner called Linda Jean's, which also happens to be a favorite restaurant of the Clinton's (not that I even like the Clinton's but like the celebrity status )
Grandpa and Oscar coloring while we wait for our food

This house belongs to my brother's good friend Chuck who graciously let us use his house for a few days! (I took these pictures the next day because it was already dark when we got to the house that night)
The house was originally built in the 1850's (they found newspaper from 1857 in the wall during remodeling). They moved the house from one area on the island to this property at some point (not sure what year). This house sits on about 10 acres so we had plenty of room for play and privacy.
It had a nice large deck of the side although with the bugs and ticks it rarely got used. There is a guest house off to the side of the main house which is currently being rented out and somehow I didn't get a picture of it.
