Martha's Vineyard

A coworker of Jordan's lent us their vacation house in Martha's Vineyard over Father's Day weekend. It was quite an adventure for us just to get there, but we had a lot of fun!

The ferry we took to get to the island

21 weeks pregnant


she loved the ferry
 After we got off the ferry we attempted to find the bus stop. In our first failed attempt we decided to get some dinner. We picked maybe the worst place on the island to eat. Here's our tip to you... if you ever go to Martha's Vineyard, don't eat at Island Grill. Next, we found the bus stop and jumped on the first bus. We made it to Edgartown where we were supposed to get on our second and final bus to take us near the house. Unfortunately we missed the LAST bus of the day!! We instead got to walk the 2.5 miles with two heavy bags, two backpacks, and a toddler in tow... no stroller! Boy were we happy when we finally made it.

We rented a bike trailer to pull behind one of the bikes we borrowed from the house. That was much better than walking :) Jordan got groceries with it for us. Quincy loved the helmet she got to wear.


We took our bikes and trailer to the beach on Saturday and enjoyed a sun filled morning... we may have had too much sun.




We noticed some kids nearby us digging in the sand and pulling something out so we gave it a try. Low and behold we found these sand "bug/crab" things. Quincy was not a fan. But it was sure fun to watch them squirm back into the sand.


 Saturday evening it started to rain, but we rode our bikes into town anyway to see a lighthouse. We also bought some delicious fudge at Murdock's, a famous local place.




This cute girl slept on a big bed for the first time. And was great!


We woke up to a rainy morning on Sunday. We enjoyed a yummy home cooked meal for breakfast on Father's Day. The storm made quite the waves on the beach that afternoon as we ate a picnic lunch. Afterwards we gave Jordan his gifts. We are so blessed to have him as a father and husband. He works so hard to provide for us and in his education. We love him!
