Vineyard Vacay, part three: Island Time

Some of my favorite- and least favorite (see image four) -things about Martha’s Vineyard. Plus, guest picture taken by my mom!  and de-colorized by yours truly…because no island trip is complete without jumping off of Second Bridge (which, incidentally, is the bridge in Jaws that the shark swims under to get into the giant pond. Cue scary music).

Down by the Bay: Pacifica

I like Missouri just fine, but the lack of ocean here drives me crazy. It was quite the sight for sore eyes to see the Pacific in all of its glory. Beautiful. _MG_7954_0194Bean Hollow State Beach
