Goodbye, Holidays! Hello, Martha's Vineyard!

Hello, everyone ♥

Here I am! Back from temporary hibernation.

How was everyone's Holiday?

Mine was very pleasant and relaxing; I finally had

the chance to kick back and unwind from all the

stress wreaked upon me over these past few months.

Of course, with the close of the Holiday season comes a little bit of

melancholy, but I've always had a sort of tradition to shoo those blues away . . .

Summer vacation planning!

"Summer vacation?! It's only January!" some of you might be thinking.

My answer-- that's precisely why I begin planning now! Doing so

ensures me of something exciting to look forward to over these cold
winter months. And if you currently live in a frosty, bone-rattling

climate like I do, you'd probably understand the therapeutics

in thinking of beach towels, sunny days, and flip flops!

So what do I have in mind this year for an excursion?

(and a New England one at that, of course!)

Martha's Vineyard!

Ever since I picked up Susan Branch's Autumn book

and fell head over heals with New England, Martha's Vineyard

has always been one of the top places I've wished to travel to.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with MV, it is a small island

off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts that has been

a summering haven for well over a hundred years.

From the bustling harbor of Vineyard Haven, to the
stately Captain homes in Edgartown, the towns of Martha's
Vineyard promise something wonderful for every kind of traveler.
