We woke up to a beautiful blue sky and sunshine – yes, you heard me – SUNSHINE! Haven’t seen the sun in many, many days and it really was affecting me – not in a positive way! Beginning with a delicious breakfast at the Fairway, we were determined to make the most of this magnificent … More So, Where Exactly Did Those Pilgrims Land?

Just a snippet today, our second full day off this week. After a multitude of rainy and/or cold days, today I would call perfect. It felt crisp and rain-washed and the sky was crayon-color “sky blue!” After treating ourselves to Hole-in-One coffee, we went for a morning bike ride, only about ten miles to the town … More Swimming With the Sharks!

Today was our first day off after working a full five-day week at Atlantic Oaks Campground on Cape Cod. We survived the Memorial Day weekend, experiencing much the same phenomena we see each year at the Jersey shore! In fact, I doubt if we will go anywhere on weekends unless we can bike there! There … More Day Drinking and Eating Lobster!

So we scored on both accounts today – not only is it Monday, but it is also raining. We went from the 80’s last week right back down through the 60’s into the 50’s with a cold, damp, rain. Is Memorial Day really this coming weekend? What does one do on such a day here … More Rainy Days and Mondays…Even in Cape Cod!

But it’s a Sandwich! Sandwich, Massachusetts, that is! Yesterday’s journey was to this Cape Cod town, specifically to Heritage Museums and Gardens. Acting on yet another recommendation, I had found a Groupon for admission, so off we went. I must admit we were a tad early in the season to get the full effect of … More It’s Not Your Typical Ham and Cheese…

I know it’s early in the season, but if I had to pick one of the quaint, Cape Cod towns we’ve investigated thus far to call home, today I would pick Chatham! Wednesday, May 17th we headed for Chatham, located about 15 miles from us – in the “elbow” of Cape Cod, for you visual … More Chatting Up Chatham…and More!

  Since I last wrote, we have been playing tourist in the true sense of the word! Since we are not working a full schedule as of yet, we’ve had plenty of time to continue our exploration of Cape Cod and to eat our way through the freshest seafood imaginable! It’s interesting because everyone we … More Pieces of Paradise

So our summer workamping adventure begins! We arrived in Eastham, Massachusetts at Atlantic Oaks Campground on Monday, May 8th, and met Katie and Dan, the campground owners! They are a young enthusiastic couple with a seven month old son, Roman. We settled into our site and then took one of their recommendations and drove to … More Seafood…Sightseeing…and Settling In!

For as much as we enjoy returning home to New Jersey in between our workcamping adventures to spend time with family and friends, we always look forward  to our next stop with anticipation and a tad of trepidation (fear of the unknown!). We decided to take our time on our way to Cape Cod for the summer, so after stopping in … More On the Road Again!

  Although here in Westminster, South Carolina we dodged the weather bullet, throughout the “Upstate,” many areas experienced a turbulent evening filled with damaging wind, rain, and hail. After such  a raucous display of wild weather, this morning dawned remarkably, with a clear blue sky and crisp temperatures – a perfect day for a road trip! … More Cruising Through the Carolinas!
