July 6, 2009 - A Long Day

We arranged a trip to Martha’s Vineyard with my sister in-law and her kids. Our auto reservations had us at the ferry early in the morning, returning late that evening. As we were waiting for the ferry, I received a call from Lynne Hamlyn, our permitting consultant, who was scheduled to meet with the Conservation Commission head the next day to discuss at what we’re proposing. She needed some additional drawings. That meant they’d have to be completed after we returned. We had a great day on the Vineyard, going to-

Vineyard Haven, the hub of Vineyard activity,

Menemsha, a fishing village where Jaws was filmed,

Aquinnah with the spectacular clay cliffs,

Edgartown, with its quaint setting and pristine buildings,

and Oak Bluffs with its gingerbread cottages and impressive homes ringing the common.

We got back to the house late, then it was time for me to get to work.
