Martha's Vineyard

How about a spontaneous day trip to Martha's Vineyard? Sounds great!

Transportation provided by the Island Queen.
Fresh off the boat and ready to ride.
Lunch on the water.
Bike ride around town.
Pit stop at East Chop Light.

Excuse me while I snoop at your extremely fancy pants house and waterfront wedding. Don't mind if I do. I was in those bushes a minute later to get a closer look. Yes, for real.
View in front of lighthouse.
Absolutely essential trip to the carousel where I learned my motor skills aren't as sharp as they used to be or they made it much harder to get rings since my last visit. Yes, yes, definitely the second option.
Unnecessary self-portrait on ferry ride home.
Leaving Oak Bluffs.
Hint of sunset.
East Chop Light from ferry.
Thank you Shawn for this lovely photo. Apparently I nap in the emergency landing position.

How fun! We've been to Nantucket but not to the Vineyard. Is it a walking town? Or can we rent bikes there?

If you're only going to Oak Bluffs, then you can definitely just walk. There's enough to fill the day just around town with restaurants, shopping, beaching and taking it all in.

But if you want to check out any other villages, you at least need bikes. I saw a bunch of rental places near the Oak Bluffs ferry area. They also rented scooters and cars.

You can rent bikes in most of the major towns (Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, Vineyard Haven). You can also buy an 'all day' bus pass which allows you to ride the bus all over the island and get on/off as much as you want.
Edgartown is also a fun town to walk around with lots of restaurants and shops. Much like Nantucket here. The island public transportation bus is available at all ferry stops. Janet

We're putting this bike trip on our "to-do" list. Looks like lots of fun! Mom & Dad (:
