June 8 Nantucket, MA

Today we all brought our bikes and took the high-speed ferry (80 min.) to Nantucket Island. The ferry ride alone was fantastic, and Nantucket was even better. First we walked around the Nantucket Basin historic district, where the streets are cobblestone. Then we hopped on our bikes and rode to Surfside Beach. The day started clear and sunny, but by afternoon scattered storms were popping up all over. We boarded the ferry a little early because it started to rain, and we were all tired! The skies were quite dramatic on the ferry ride back to Cape Cod.
