The beach was probably the biggest hit of the Vineyard vacation – nothing like a pounding by some frigid water to keep you coming back for more. We had time rolling in South Beach’s big waves, and relaxing with some dinner as the calm waters lapped the sand in Menemsha. Heaven!

The Vin-yahd – A Good Start
First and foremost, happy 5-year anniversary of our blog! It has been an amazing ride since our first post. Now onto regularly scheduled programming… A week at the Vineyard, and so much to see and do! With boats, light saber battles, ice cream and a walk along the water, the first day didn’t disappoint!
Best of the Chi-town Rest
We packed so much in during our time in Chicago, so here’s a wrap up of many other highlights during our stay!

Scuba in Aruba
Our 400th post! A rare treat, I was able to go up to 80 or so feet under water off the island of Aruba. I saw one of the few wrecks I’ve swam with, and a whole lot of fish. Highlights included a barracuda, a few lobster, a lionfish and fish of a million different…
