We decided to take a day trip over to Martha's Vineyard. We took an early morning ferry out of Woods Hole. Parking is extremely limited in town, so your best bet is to park just north of Falmouth and then take the shuttle bus in to the ferry terminal.
About 15 minutes before we were to depart, the fog rolled in to Woods Hole. It cleared up a bit just as we arrived in Vineyard Haven. We picked up our Mini Cooper convertible and then headed southwest to see the painted cliffs of Aquinnah. But, the fog rolled in...there were to be no sights of painted cliffs or the lighthouse. We moved on and headed east to Edgartown. Thanks to the compact size of the Mini we were able to score a great parking space! But, alas, after walking around town for about 45 minutes, the fog rolled in.
We hopped back in the car and headed north to Oak Bluffs. The sun was out and we were ready to do some shopping and find a nice spot with a great view for lunch. We stopped at Nancy's, ate upstairs on the open deck and watched the boats in the harbor. Nancy's was a great place for lunch and the food was quite tasty....the grilled chicken sandwich was actually nice and juicy....not the usual dry jerky at some places!
After lunch we did a little shopping, saw the oldest carousel and headed out of town, back toward Vineyard Haven, just in time for the fog to roll back in!
Our time on MV was lovely and my pictures would have been much better had the weather cooperated and the fog stayed away, but that was not to be. Oh, and as we arrived back in Woods Hole, so did the fog!
