Last Monday we drove to the cape.  It took about 7 hours and then we stayed over night in Falmouth.  The next morning we took the ferry over to Martha’s Vineyard. I remember when I was little, the fog horn used to scare me.  I still jumped today when it sounded.                                                             Martha Vineyard is my favorite place in the world!

We went for dinner and ice cream.  (it’s a tradition for our family to get ice cream every night form the “Candy Store”) Both were so so so so good.

Marissa, one of my sister’s best friends joined us.  It was so nice to be back there.

On Thursday we went to see Vineyard Sound (VS) MY favorite a cappella group on the island. They are college guys who spend the summer on MV singing!

You can look them up on  http://www.youtube.com/user/VineyardSound

Here’s one of my favorites that they sing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN0qJ08aqP4

Afterwards, we walked around Edgartown.  I watched a guy make fudge and then of course we had to buy some!

Saturday AM we brought a triple berry pie from this small stand and ate it for breakfast.  The lady makes 100 pies a day and they sell out in about 2- 3 hours. Wish we could have bought more!

We just really enjoyed vacation.  It was nice weather outside all week.

We went to South Beach a few days to see a sand castle contest.  My family pushed me in a special beach wheel chair with big wheels to go over the sand.  They are great for people who use wheelchairs and walkers because the sand would ruin them.  The special chairs let you go down on the beach and onto the sand.  I have used them before at Ocean City, New Jersey.  Many public beaches now have them.

While we were on MV went out to a few shops.  I didn’t buy anything but my mom and sister went into even single store.  I went with them everywhere.  It was fun shopping.

On Saturday after dinner I went to a club with my sister. There was one guy dancing who reminded me of Allen in “The Hangover”…and he asked me if I wanted a drink!  It was so fun.

On the way home, my mom and dad surprised me surprised me by taking me one last place.  We have a very special family friend who has been visiting me for almost 18 years who is like a grandmother to me.  She has a summer home in New Hampshire, so they took me up to visit her.  Her family was there too, along with all of there Labrador retrievers.  There were seven…6 black and 1 yellow.  It was so fun being greeted by all of them!  It was the best time with family, friends and dogs!

See you next year!
