Today started very early at 5:00 AM. We had to catch the 6:30 ferry from Woods Hole into Vineyard Haven. We actually made it and everyone woke up with the cool air of the ocean winds on the ferry. I might mention we were the first one in line and only one of two cars on the boat. Their big season hasn't started yet The girls were so excited and we made it to Martha's Vineyard around 8:30 and went straight to the art diner where we got one of the last tables left before their long breakfast wait. It was awesome as usual and we started meandering our way to Aquinnah to see the Clay Cliffs and the lighthouse. We were a little early for the Lighthouse so we went down to the beach for a walk and Colbie discovered the water was very cold. The lighthouse finally opened at 11 and we climbed it and explore the area. Things got a little testy so we had a quiet drive over to Edgartown. We realized the day was going by quickly and we needed to go ride the Flying carousel with the brass rings in Oak Bluffs. We cut over to Oak Bluffs and we're really only doing it because Antoinette insisted. We were a little crazy with how many people were in Oak Bluff but there was a parking spot right in front of the carousel. We all went in and got on and the girls loved collecting the silver and brass rings. Kevin one the first one when he pulled the brass ring so of course we got a free ride. The other Kevin, Kayla, one the second one with the brass ring. They were trying to take the brass ring but the workers were on them so we only managed to come home with some silver rings. We hopped in the car and headed to Edgartown. Once again, we had a great time shopping on Edgartown and walked out to the Edgartown lighthouse after eating at among the flowers. The winds when we went out of the lighthouse door on top were really enough to blow us away!! We were about 2 1/2 hours from sunset so we got in the car and headed back to the other side of the island to Menemsha for fresh lobster off of the boat and what was promised to be a beautiful sunset. It was really getting cold so we started to bundle up. We got the fresh lobster and it might've been the best one yet. We bundled up and warm clothes and towels in huddled on the beach about an hour before sunset. A few minutes later, we were under the towels in a pile trying to stay warm. Callen insisted this was great fun and made us stay until the sun finally set to prove we could do it. We made it in a soon as the sun popped down under the horizon, we all ran to the car and turned on the heat. We headed back to Vineyard Haven for the 930 ferry in minutes to get on the 845. We stayed in her car on this one because it was too cold. It was another great trip to Martha's Vineyard.
