On Friday after Derrick's professional ceremony we decided to take a road trip down to the Cape. We found the last room available at a hotel close to the port (in Falmouth) and stayed overnight. Saturday we took the ferry to Martha's Vineyard. When we got off the ferry we saw a place to rent bikes for the day. There was a fun bike path from Oak Bluffs, where the ferry landed, to Edgartown. Edgartown is an old whaling village (the port is also famous as "Amity" in the movie Jaws). We rode part way to Edgartown and realized that it was way too hot for what we were wearing. We found a thrift store and bought ourselves clothes to wear for the day (Derrick is modeling the swimsuit he purchased above, which--for those who have seen his usual choice, was much longer than any suit you will ever see him wear again any time soon :)) We also rode our bikes up to a lighthouse overlooking the ocean and spent some time at the beach. The day turned out to be so nice---the weather was beautiful until we were waiting in line for the ferry and it started to rain. It was a fun last "hoorah" before Derrick starts school (tomorrow).
