Halloween at Martha's Vineyard ... and other quirks ...




See the young pirate and lil witch?

See the lobster dog?
(He kinda looks like he doesn't want to be seen in his halloween costume ... hahahaha)

And check out the "Pieman" & cool New Hampshire license plates - every state has different "sayings"
- in Massachussetts case, it's known as "The Spirit of America". Interesting ...

Gingerbread Houses - Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard





These gingerbread houses were actually built in the 1800s by campers from a Methodist church's retreats. Apparently, they used to just put up tents, but when they kept coming back for their retreats, they started building these houses. Don't they look so pretty? Real life Disneyland houses!




Shops on Main Street, Vineyard Haven



Wish I could own a boutique like Chica!

Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard - The Vincent House Museum 1672





The Vincent House Museum
Look at the interesting pathway to the house ... filled with shells!
The basic interior doesn't make me want to live here. Give me a cosy apartment with central heating and a warm bed anyday.

Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard - Dr Daniel Fisher House 1840






One of the "old dames" in Martha's Vineyard.
It was closed for the season, so sadly, we couldn't go in to have a look.

Bank of Martha's Vineyard


What a pretty place to house a bank!

Martha's Vineyard ... Pier ...





On the way to .... Martha's Vineyard!

Wonderful empty road on route to the pier to Martha's Vineyard!
The crosswinds closer to the pier were pretty scary though ....
good thing I wasn't driving too fast cos I felt the winds hitting the car, and had to actually grip the steering wheel and make the necessary adjustments to keep the car steady.
