Martha’s Vineyard Day 2: Chappaquiddick and the Time I Failed a Moped Safety Test

There’s still one day left of my summer 2015 Cape Cod/Martha’s Vineyard saga. When we left off, I was on a very strange taxi ride home from downtown Oaks Bluff, to our hotel, the Island Inn, and after three full days of Narragansett and super sun exposure, I wasn’t feeling great when I woke up

Ferry Rides, Sun Poisoning, Nude Beaches, and More Narragansett in Martha’s Vineyard

To read about the first days of my Cape Cod/Martha’s Vineyard trip, click here or here. Saturday morning we woke up nice and early, so that we’d be on time for the two hour ferry ride to Martha’s Vineyard. We opted for the 9am ferry, which, by the time we got situated, grabbed lunch, and

Summering on the Cape Part 2: Beaches, Brews, Walking Tacos and the Most Anticlimactic History Monument Ever

We’re picking up with day 2 of my Cape Cod adventure. To read about day one, click here. The nice thing about Cape Cod’s super early last call is that I was able to get a good nights sleep pretty much everyday, and didn’t wake up at all with a hangover, which is pretty monumental for

Summering on the Cape Part 1: Cat Boats, Lobster Dinners, and an Ode to Narragansett Lager

      Last summer, I ended up going to Cape Cod/Martha’s Vineyard for a long weekend. I actually wrote about the planned itinerary, but never ended up writing much about the trip, because as soon as I got home, I got real sick for a week (I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some

Clothing Optional: My First (Adult) Visit to a Nude Beach

  True story: do you know that up until this summer, when I started to properly learn the power of social media, the post responsible for driving readers to my blog was a throwaway post from 2012 about nude beaches. I don’t remember exactly why I wrote the post. I think it’s because I had

Summering on the Cape

One of my life goals is to be the type of person who’s financially stable enough to use the word summer as a verb. You know the type; the summer in the south of France, or they summer in Bermuda, or maybe they summer in the Hamptons-no matter the destination, it’s usually somewhere a bit exclusive, classy

Halloween In Salem

Halloween is my third favorite holiday after Christmas (how could Christmas not be anyone’s number one?) and parade season.   The Fourth of July and Thanksgiving are heavy contenders, but with both of these I enjoy the social aspect, annual gatherings of family and friends, rather than the customs the holidays entail (I think fireworks are overrated,

Clothing Optional….Proceed at Your Own Risk

When I was in 7th grade my parents took us to Martha’s Vineyard for summer vacation.  I’d post pictures, but I was going through a really unfortunate Sun-In stage at the time.  Martha’s Vineyard is legit.  If you haven’t ever been, plan on doing so.  It’s got the classiness of Cape Cod, with some of the

Shipping Up to Boston

My brother purchased me tickets to see a Dropkick Murphy’s St. Patrick’s Day show up in Massachusetts. I’ve been wanting to spend a St. Patrick’s Day is Boston, so I’m glad he finally made me go make good on this. It did not disappoint. The concert was actually in Lowell, Massachusetts, an easy forty three
