Cape Cod Trip - Day 9

Left our hotel early and drove over to Woods Hole. Down at the ferry pier at 0800 - thought there would be more people... No problem getting aboard for a ride to Martha's Vinyard. Nicky has always wanted to go there - and she was really excited. We bought tickets for a tour of the island and took a school bus around to all the sights: Gay Head Light, Oak Bluffs and the Black Dog Restaurant (bought souvenirs at 1400L). The tour guide wanted to show us where all the famous people lived (boooorrrring!)... Nicky did have a good time and bought several souvenirs (e.g., Calico Sue's in Vinyard Haven at 1335L). Later, though, she said "It wasn't as good as I thought it would be..." After we got back to Cape Cod, we drove over to see Grammy. She was happy to see us. Drove through Brewster on the way back to Falmouth, including the Brewster Store and Mill. Later in the afternoon, we stopped at the Marshside Restaurant for seafood - Nicky's favorite (finished at 1930L). Back to the hotel later - we have to wake up early to go to Boston tomorrow...
