Yes. They loved France, whereas this guy...
Signs his name on a piece of paper written 20 years ago. Whew, I need a vacation from my vacation! LOL
lol.
We went this year. There is no keeping me and my 3 year old out of the Pop-up despite the rest of the families efforts. It was just not what we did a few years ago. Two hours from home. I am a dedicated cheapskate to begin with an to have to start throwing nickles in a jar now to hope to make Cape Ann next year while this jack a$$ rolls up to the Vineyard on a Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous vacation is really getting my blood pressure way up right now.
And the campgrounds we stay at survive off of people like us. The locals who we deal with survive off of us. Now they are going out of business. It is a total snowball effect. Those guys are seasonal so they have a small window to eat for the year. I’m so worked up right now over this I am going to grab a scotch. I need to mellow out.
One of these days I’m going to get a little teardrop camper.
Just for 3 day weekends and stuff.
I share your enthusiasm for pinching nickles.
I got nothing against him moving on up.
But I cant wait till he is moving on out.
LMAO...I like it!
Martha’s Vineyard has always struck me as a place where rich leftist elitist snobs purposely make everything (lodging, food, etc) so fracking expensive that peasants like us will never consider going there. Even if I had the money to go there I wouldn’t these people make me sick.
I don't mean "get out of here" as an insult. Just a figure of speech.
Travel trailers look cool, but when you park those in the sun, you know what your piece of chicken feels like defrosting in the microwave. My compatriots laugh at my Coleman Plantation until they stay an evening in it. It’s like the Ritz Carlton of the campground.
Hey fellow squid, you’re profile could have been written by me of all people. I too hail from the great state of PA. I too spent 25 years, 6 months, and 5 days in the greatest Navy on earth. I’ve been pro-life since I knew what it was and have been a conservative Republican since my first trimester. I have two children who I stopped dragging all over the world in 2008 when I finally retired as HMC. Live long and prosper my friend! . Go Steelers! (unless you hail from the other side of the state-lol)
Thanks for the travel trip!
............$186 for the couple. .............
What about the spawns?? They should be allowed at least PB&J on whole wheat toast by Amir the organic baker, at $50 each.
Then there’s the downtown ice cream desert once the secret service clears out the area for about one hour!
Mouchelle is going to be pissed, especially since she had to spend an extra few hours on the island before Zer0 made his grand entrance in AF1.
Wonder if the Mooch had to wait in the airport lounge for Zer0, or if she had her own 24 vehicle parade to the $50,000 per week vacation home???
And, where’s Bo the dog??
One doesn’t go to MV for the food, it’s a vacation resort for the masses. It’s beautiful, but clichéd by now. Anywhere the Kennedy’s and Bill Clinton have claimed as one of their fun hangouts would make the sensibilities of the place highly suspect, IMHO.
The big attraction that pulls in tourists is the fact that famous people are associated with the place.
It used to be necessary to escape the summer heat and northern climates work nice for that.
The O’s are going there because they think it’s the coolest Democrat place to be.
If a President wants to go somewhere relaxing and elegant and have a relaxing fine dining experience as part of his vacation, and he wants to stay in the U.S., he might consider going to Sea Island in Georgia. They have several restaurants, including the Georgian Room. This is the summer menu:

Not to mention, though you wouldn’t know it to look at it, since the economy has been so awful, it was struggling and actually in Chapter 11 bankruptcy and a private group purchased the place and is operating it.
And wouldn’t you know, due to the fact that it is on a secluded island, it has excellent security capabilities for high-level visitors. In fact, in June 2004 it was the site of a summit meeting of the G8 (world leaders).
Would it not be nice to give them a lift with a Presidential visit ?
I mean really, compare the menus.
IMHO.
And it won't cost you $15.
