Fun on Martha's Vineyard: Part 1

Oh yes, back to reality. You know, we may not have had completely perfect weather for the 4 days I was there, but even rainy days are just better on the Vineyard!

I arrived on Island, Wednesday at 10:15AM. I ended up being the LAST person to board the ferry that morning and it was packed!? Unfortunately I had to sit on my suitcase and wasn't able to leave my stuff for the whole ride...I was hungry and getting cranky but then we arrived!and it was a perfect beach day!!! We immediately headed to South Beach in Katama.Ahhhh yes...surf and sand. It was perfect weather too! About 70 degrees, light breeze, and when you're laying down on your towel the sun heats you up just right. We even got a little too hot at some points.I'm rocking ONLY bandeau's this summer...no tan lines in my wedding dress (I hate seeing that)!

Beach snacks: cherries and grapes. Perfectly refreshing.We then decided that we were really hungry for an actual lunch. So we set out to find a delicious sandwich.

After visiting 3 different places, we found exactly what we were looking for at Humphrey's in Edgartown!They make their bread fresh daily. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich on Oatmeal Bread, and a veggie wrap with honey mustard and split each!
HOLY SANDWICH! This was the BIGGEST sandwich I have EVER seen!!!! The thick bread was SO soft and amazing. This was a kick ass chicken salad sandwich!The veggie wrap was great too...lots of crunchy veggies, pickles, provolone, and honey mustard.
Later that night we headed to the Atlantic Beach Club for drinks and appetizers for a light dinner since we had lunch late. I have to do a whole post on this place...SO INCREDIBLE. I will just say that instead of little bowls of nuts on the bar...no, no, this place has little cylinders of crisp BACON! Who does that!?

Back to work tomorrow...boo!! Hope you all had a great weekend!!
