Martha's Vineyard, Re-do

Our first time to Martha's Vineyard was exactly a year before our second time, because both were in celebration of our marriage-- first our honeymoon, and now our very first anniversary trip!  We had a great time and the weather was gorgeous.  We could not have asked for a better week to enjoy the island.

We spent the first day or so in Cape Cod and took a bike ride around Hyannis to see where all those Kennedys live and ended up crashing a beach wedding (Note to future brides: wind problems, shoe problems, sand problems-- having seen a few beach weddings, I do not recommend them).  We sat around like creepers and watched the entire thing.  Their preacher really earned his dollars- he was into it!

 

  

This time we brought our own bikes along so we enjoyed a lot of cycling around the island and some other fun activities like a joint paddleboard/kayak trip, a beach bonfire with our cool MV crew, and a sunset cruise on an old sailing ship. 

Best of all was the fact that when we went home, we got to go to the same home, in the same state (!) -- unlike last year when I had to return to Philly after our honeymoon for 2 months of daily radiation.  We are so grateful for the progress we both have made in our lives over the past year-- health, professional, living situation, and otherwise.  It has been a big year of recovery, change, and growth for us and we are so happy to be just where we are right now.  Thanks for ALL of the tremendous love and support along the way!
