The Real Vineyard Sound…

The Real Vineyard Sound…

There are plenty of sounds I associate with the Vineyard. A few are annoying (motorcycles without mufflers and loud cell phone conversations) but most are enticing: sea gulls calling, waves crashing on the shore, the bells of the Old Whaling Church peeling, and children laughing. And lest I forget, the call of, “Your table is ready!” […]

Eating out on Martha’s Vineyard (without breaking the budget)

Those who know me well would probably describe my spending habits as “cheap”…  but I prefer the terms “economy minded” or “frugal”!  I don’t eat out often (college tuitions to save for you know), and I really appreciate a Value.  For all of these reasons, I am sympathetic to visitors who want to vacation on […]

After A Day At The Beach, Martha’s Vineyard Theater Comes Alive

A Vineyard experience doesn’t have to be all about the beach. After washing off a long day’s accumulation of sand, salt and oily sun block, why not discover the island’s superb theater offerings? Many visitors are amazed at the amount and quality of the professional entertainment available here. One of the most established venues is The […]

Adventures of the Squirrel-Whisperer

When I say that Martha’s Vineyard is too “City-fied” for me, people laugh. Here is my perspective: I came to the Vineyard after living for ten years in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I lived in a condominium where bears came through the parking lot to the dumpsters on a regular basis and if […]

My Sweet Spot on Martha’s Vineyard

I suppose everyone has their favorite Vineyard spot.  For some, it’s a place to appreciate the beauty of creation and be alone with their thoughts.  The less contemplative among us might, to lift a line from Ms. Lauper, “just wanna have fun” and so seek out a more active corner of the Island.  At the […]

Save Me From My Kids… What to do when it’s not a Beach Day on Martha’s Vineyard

Considering the total amount of rainfall on the Vineyard this June, I’m hoping that the subject of this blog will soon be moot. However, my car mechanic tells me he remembers a Vineyard summer one year that never happened.  So, just in case… Imagine you are finally here, under the roof you paid for three […]

4th of July on Martha’s Vineyard – the ‘Foreign’ Girl’s Experience

You can’t come to Martha’s Vineyard without noticing the vast number of different accents you encounter in your day – the girl at the coffee shop is Russian, the guy who drives the cab is from Bulgaria, your housekeeper is Jamaican and thishotel manager is Scottish. To many, it’s part of what makes the Vineyard so […]

Uncharted Territory? But I LIVE here…

There have been discussions around the Colonial Inn since we started posting blog articles. Several of us have realized that…our hotel guests often see more of the Island than we, who live here, do! Now, in our defense, hotel guests are here to visit. They have the freedom to meander and see the sights during their […]
