Vacation Anyone?


After three weeks of cleaning up after children and husband who are all out of school for the summer (and providing sherpa, chef, laundry, taxi, and referee services on the side), I've decided it's time for a vacation since I'm not getting anything done anyway.  How about Nantucket?  Well, if I can't actually go, at least I can pretend I'm there... can't I?  Pack up your Nantucket Reds and join me this week on a blog vacation to Nantucket!  

Fun Factoid...  Native American Wampanoags, Nantucket's first inhabitants, gave the island its name which means "faraway land".  Many island locations have maintained their native names:  Monomoy- "Black Soil" and "Siasconset- "Place of Bones".

Bon voyage!

Any Day Now!


My latest book, Journey Around Nantucket will be out in the next couple weeks! I can't wait to see the book when it arrives. It's always such a thrill to see the final product!
The book features many favorite locations on Nantucket with surprise factoids for locals and visitors. My family and I had so much fun visiting the island while doing research for this book. Stay tuned for book signings later this summer on Nantucket and the Cape. I'd love to meet you and hear about your experiences on this lovely island!
