If you’ve been following my blog, you know that in addition to exploring the area where we are workamping, we also do a great job of sampling the local cuisine. Last week we experienced what was perhaps our best meal on Cape Cod, in a place that many would never discover. Our managers, Katie and Dan, are … More “Treat a Customer Like You Would a Guest in Your Own Home”

Our “days off ” activities this week actually began on Wednesday night. We had been given tickets to an event at the Melody Tent in Hyannis and had never been to this unique venue, so we grabbed a sandwich, packed beer and wine, of course, and headed to tailgate and spend an evening with America … More OMG…What a Week!

Bill and I were blessed with a picture-perfect day for our scheduled excursion to Nantucket Island. With our bicycles by our sides and helmets in hand, we boarded the Steamship Authority Fast-Speed Ferry from the pier in Hyannis, and settled in for an hour cruise to the island. As you can imagine, the ship was … More There Once Was a Man From Nantucket…

Having grown up in central New Jersey, I have always loved the beach. I then spent close to 40 years in South Jersey and raised my two children on the beach there! Traveling and workamping for the past seven years, Bill and I have experienced many different beaches – the rocky coast of Maine, the … More Snippets From a Beach Day!

My first experience with whale watching occurred over twenty years ago when I took a personal day from my teaching position to chaperone my daughter’s class trip to Cape May, NJ, for a whale watch. Unfortunately, the fifth graders seemed more interested in running around the boat, but maybe that was because we did not see … More Call Me Ishmael!

One of the perks of most workamping positions is that you receive at least two consecutive days off each week. Such is our schedule here at Atlantic Oaks in Eastham, Massachusetts; however, this is the third week in a row where one, if not both, of our days off has been cloudy and/or rainy! Thus, … More If It’s Cloudy or Rainy, It Must Be Our Day Off!

Over the past three weeks, Bill and I have experienced several very positive – and delicious – encounters of the culinary kind! As most of my followers know, we enjoy dining out for breakfast as much as lunch or dinner, and we go out of our way to sample local cuisine wherever we find ourselves … More Culinary Capsule

Waking up to a glorious day yesterday – comfortable with no humidity – we began with a breakfast at Fairway (it’s become our go-to spot not only for a full breakfast but also for that occasional hand-cut doughnut for which visitors now wait in a very long line!). Since the beach parking lots are known to fill … More Sunning and Sipping…Oh, and Scallops!

Even as workampers, it’s easy to fall into a daily routine – arise, exercise, work, nourish, sleep and repeat! So when our two consecutive days off arrive, we don’t hesitate to travel out of “the bubble” (a.k.a. the campground) even as the July 4th holiday draws closer. We left Eastham on Thursday, our first stop … More Getting Out of Dodge…

As workampers, we have always been complimented for our desire and determination to explore the areas in which we find ourselves from season to season. Yes, we enjoy the tourist spots – museums, beaches, bike paths, monuments, hiking trails, restaurants, etc. – but we also attempt to get a taste of the locals – where they go … More 1…2…3 Strikes You’re Out!
