On Saturday, June 21st my DH & I enjoyed a visit to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Isabella (1840-1924) was a wealthy woman who used an inheritance from her father to collect ancient Roman, Medieval European, Renaissance Italian, Asian, Islamic and 19th century French and American art and this build this museum on the Fens to house it. The pieces are crammed into the rooms on three floors, and I mean crammed in a nice way, its a hodgepodge of placement, one of the stipulations of her trust is the art has to remain the way Isabella arranged it.

Her crowning piece is this one, Titan’s Europa which depicts the god Zeus abducting the European princess Europa and fleeing with her to the isle of Crete.
Though we thought the best part was the museum was built around an Italian style, manicured courtyard you can view from all 3 floors. The museum reminded me of the Frick in New York, except she designed the building to be a museum and had living quarters on the top floor.

On Sunday my DH, Toffee and I took the 7 mile ferry ride from Woods Hole to the tiny island Martha’s Vineyard.

We landed in Vineyard Haven and rented one of those Smart Cars to explore this 100 square mile island. The car was awesome, ours was a convertible and it looked small and funny from the outside but inside it was very roomy and comfortable. We got a lot of great stares and it was extremely easy to park. We did the entire island, driving over 60 miles, on only 1.2 gallons of gas.
This is also where we had a great lunch right on Main Street and I was surprised that the food was so good, usually at these sorts of touristy places the food is awful no matter how much you pay, we liked it so much we had dinner there too. I can’t remember the name, but I recommend the crab cakes.
Our first stop, Gay Head Cliffs at the western most tip in Aquinnah by the historic Gay Head Lighthouse.
You can barely see the lighthouse, but the cliffs were pretty cool!
I’m not sure where the name Gay Head is from, perhaps something to do with the Wampanoag Indian tribe that is from there. If someone out there in Blog Land knows the origin please tell us!
Next we drove along the coast to Edgartown, which is located in the southeastern corner of the island and home to the famous Chappaquiddick Bridge. Seems like you can’t get away from the Kennedys no matter where you go in this state! Anyway we liked Edgartown, browsed in a little shop that sold trinkets from Pakistan and ate some delicious ice-cream.
Our last stop was Oak Bluffs where the fabled Victorian Gingerbread Cottages are located. These are the original summer cottages built by the people who gathered for the Camp Meeting Association at Oak Bluffs’ Tabernacle in the late 1800s. They now sell for anywhere from a cool mill to $400,000, or you can rent one. Perhaps if my name was Carly Simon I would buy!


This was our favorite with the Wizard of Oz motif.
