Martha's Vineyard - Road trip USA part 1


After 4 hours of driving from NY we arrived in Cape Cod- Massachusetts.
Land of the Kennedy holiday home and where the fictional show Dawsons Creek was meant to be set. (Ever since I saw Joey and Dawson sitting on the end of a wooden pier I wanted to visit this magical place!) ...
We booked a lovely hotel down in Falmouth (Inn on the sound), close enough to be only a 30 minute drive to the ferry port. 
The ferry from woods hole to Martha's Vineyard takes 40 minutes and cost $8 each way per person. 
You don't need to take a car as the bus system is pretty good and only costs $7 for an all day bus pass.
We visited the beautiful gingerbread cottages in Oak bluffs (I now WANT one!) and the famous whaling town of Edgartown (also famous for being the fictional town of Amnity in the movie Jaws!!) we stayed for a day and fell in love with the place. I now know where I want to end up. 
Question, Can I retire at 32? 

Here's a few pics which I wanted to share.... 

The shipping port in Edgartown. Martha's Vineyard. Also where they filmed Jaws.
