Kimball Farms...

The upper sun deck at our Host & Hostess' in Medway, MA
The front

The view of the backyard from the upper deck...

And then we were off for Sunday lunch to Kimball Farm - Carlisle, MA.

Just a few of the ice cream flavour options...

Some of the fall foliage at the farm...

More of the signage...

And the silo...

Mr. S with his order...

My "small" of coffee, chocolate, something...

Some of the fun park...

More of the leaves...

The building by the bumper boats and the mini golf...

More of the bumper boats...

And the mini golf course.

And back to Oak Bluffs...

Approaching Oak Bluffs...
It is all beautiful sand beaches on both sides...

I thought this house was asking to be photographed...

And this one - Calamity House - which was my favourite...

This one...not so much...

And this one either.

They were all a part of a collection of gingerbread, little houses in one part of Oak Bluffs which was established by the Vineyard CampMeeting Association which used to set up a tent in town. It's followers built these homes originally and now are all private homes. I loved all the front porches, verandas & rocking chairs...

And this house...

And here we are, arriving back at Falmouth...

And into the dock...

Delivered safely by the Island Queen...

The end of a great day trip...

I can't wait to go there again!

On to Edgartown...and a glimpse of Chappaquiddick Island...

Across the narrow channel of water is Chappaquiddick Island.

These two (3 vehicle and multi-person) ferries switch back & forth all day from the dock in Edgartown over to the other Island.
Along the waterfront in Edgartown - the restaurant with the sundeck is where we had lunch.

More along the waterfront...

Edgartown Lighthouse...

A gallery by the docks...

Souvenir shop...

Is it a coincidence that "Captain Porky's Bait & Tackle" is next door to the "Candy & Ice Cream" shop?...I think not!

The docks by the restaurant...

I could live there...

The view from the stairwell inside the restaurant...

Shop front...

More shops...

The Victorian Inn...

MacPhail's Corner Cafe...

This home had "puff ball" trimmed shrubs everywhere...

It was all immaculately groomed.

Now, on around the Island back to Oak Bluffs...

Heading around the Island to the Gay Head Cliffs & Lighthouse...

Some scenery we passed by on the drive...
Kindly Rick had to turn around and go back for me to get this pic - it was too picture perfect to miss!

More of the winding road, bordered by low stone walls...

So pretty...

We're at the Gay Head Cliffs Lookout...looks like nothing, right?

But, up over the edge of the cliffs...this is what you see...

Huge sand cliffs above the ocean shore...

It was beautiful - pictures don't do it justice.

The shops @ the lookout...

Along the edge of the lookout, looking down to the ocean...

More of the cliffs...

Gay Head Cliffs & Lighthouse

Loved it!

Oak Bluffs on the Island - Martha's Vineyard

We arrived... One of the first sights that greets you is - Anderson's Bike Rentals... Which had the most adorable little garage/shop, covered with vines...

And right behind it was this very Victorian looking Inn...

And then the Scooter rentals...

It seemed like there was no shortage of them...

The Surfside Inn...

America's Oldest Carosel...

And it still works!

The little old variety store...
