Vineyard Beaches

I think the best part of Martha's Vineyard is the beaches. We went to Lambert's Cove first. The sand on the walk in was cool as a cucumber. :)And the beach was really calm and beautiful!We liked going on the big rock:It was a great place to pose for a picture.We had some stormy days but we still went to the beach. I loved Katama. We walked in here:And were greeted by big waves like this! So exciting. The beach is spectacular, even on a gray day! We even saw a cutie seal! We liked it so much we decided to go back when the sun came out. It was so fun to go swimming! It was so nice to have another beach day! I didn't think we would get another one this year. :(
I wish I could go to the beach every day! haha

Slipper Shoes

I love my slipper shoes! I got them earlier this summer but it was too hot to wear them until now! Yay Fall! They're Earth shoes and the style is called Hedda. They're super soft inside! I think they're cute but they could be ugly like Uggs and I just can't tell. haha. I love to wear comfortable, cozy clothes, especially in the Fall! Happy weekend!

Martha's Vineyard :)

We went on a mini vacation to Martha's Vineyard last weekend. It was really fun and Rafael was really sweet! He's good at kissing and taking pictures of us at the same time. :) haha Here we are on the ferry:
We stayed in this beautiful room. It was very relaxing and cool.
It had a sink! We liked it. Here is the best part of the room, the ocean view! So beautiful. The coolest part of the bed and breakfast was this: The widows walk! Don't worry, Raf didn't fall off. :) So dramatic. It had great views like this:
I took a lot of pictures up there. Maybe I'll post some more later.
:) I still have a lot more pictures to post, like of us at the beach! I hope everyone is having a nice week.

Amazing Food

Rafael and I are about to spend a long weekend at Martha's Vineyard, so prepare for lots of posts about that. haha! In the meantime here are some interesting veggies I saw at the farmer's market. These are all cucumbers! I think the little kind are called melon cukes. I didn't try them, have you? Here are some more cucumbers:That long stripy kind is called Armenian cukes! (I know that from the label.) I didn't try these either but they look like the burpless kind. Here are some beautiful tomatoes:Tomatoes are my favorite food. I love heirloom tomatoes but I don't know if they're my favorite. I do think they're the most beautiful.This farmer had a variety of heirlooms. My favorite heirloom tomatoes to eat are the yellow kind. I think they have the best flavor.I also tried the green kind with stripes in the upper left-hand corner of the picture above. They're called Zebra Tomatoes. They tasted a little more tangy than regular tomatoes to me. Here is what I brought home to eat on my new Envirosax bag!
It was a beautiful and delicious meal! Btw, I really like the Envirosax bag. I got it at Abode in Portsmouth, NH. I like to use it as a grocery bag because it's more comfortable to carry than the reusable kind the grocery stores sell. Here is something else amazing that was in the kitchen at work: Have you ever seen such a big box of rice krispie treats?! I was so surprised! Look at how many were inside: I went back 30 minutes later and they were all gone. I think I work in a hungry office. haha. Have a great weekend everyone!

Doggie in the Window

Rafael and I have been all over Cambridge (and a little of Brookline) looking at apartments like maniacs lately. On Thursday we saw this wild little guy in a window: At first he was just calmly sticking his head out like a dog going for a ride in the car. Then Rafael and I got really excited about seeing him (of course) and he started barking at us. I think we got him in trouble. Sorry little sweetie! He watched us walk all the way down the sidewalk. So cute! Bye bye little guy!
Btw, he could have been a girl, I'm not sure. But dogs are boys and cats are girls, right? :) (Sorry Bruno and Emily!)

A New Friend

Grandma made this sweetie elephant and gave it to me! I absolutely love it! It's so cute and bright which makes me feel really happy. :)Grandma is an expert knitter. She's also an expert in Florida colors. Don't you love Florida colors? I do. I think I need more of them in my apartment.
Do you think it's a boy or a girl? What do you think I should name it? I need suggestions! :) Here is this it's home for now, right where I can see it in the living room: Unfortunately it wont be here for long because.... we're moving! uuuuugggghhhhh. We don't know where we're going yet, but hopefully we'll find a nice place soon and everyone will be happy again. At least Raf and I have a cheery elephant to take with us! Yay! Thanks Grandma!
P.S. Grandpa doesn't like how it's trunk touches the table and thinks it needs an alteration. haha! I'm not sure how I feel about it yet...

More Beach Time!

Rafael and I went to Plum Island on another one of our beach adventures. We were planning on going to Crane Beach again until we found out they were having a sandcastle building contest and it was super crowded! So we headed a little further north. Plum Island is half nature reserve and half houses. The house half is really packed with cute little cottages.The beach is spectacular with big waves! It's also not very crowded.It was a great place to relax and cool off.Raf and I use a giant sheet as our beach blanket which is way bigger than we actually need, but I have personal space issues at the beach so it's great! I put mini shells on my knees:We saw lots of cute things on our back at the end of the day. Wouldn't you like to have a cup of tea here?
It was sort of hard to believe we were in New England. Look at this prickly pear cactus!

How did they do that???? (Grandma says maybe they plant the whole pot.) We had lots of fun at Plum Island! I want to go back. :)

Farmers in the City

I love the Government Center (City Hall Plaza) Farmer's Market. I wrote about it last year, remember? I think I even posted similar pictures. Oh well.I love how the country comes to the city, it's like a little oasis. It's such a nice break during work. Look at all the big buildings:Grandma and Grandpa say that the farmers bring the best of everything to the city. I think it might be true!I love summer because everything is so bright and fresh. I've been trying to eat as many local fruits and veggies as possible. I hope everyone is having a nice Tuesday! :)
