updates from mv taps, linda jeans, winter break updates / 40+ save the dates
It’s less than 90 days to Memorial Day Weekend and I am feeeeling the annual excitement for sunshine and a new season every day.
⏱️ This Week on MVacay
The annual ferry post was published this week. If you scroll to the bottom of the post you’ll see all the changes for 2025 summarized. Plus, I made a handy interactive google map that includes all the ports visually for newbies. I don’t think anyone else has made a comparative map like that, and I’m pretty proud of it!
Another iteration in my series of of Things to Do on MV, I’ll be very glad I wrote this come summer! Many things on the list aren’t yet open for the season, but save it for later:
🗺️ What To Do This Weekend
⭐ MVacay Picks
Eat: Alchemy is doing late-night eats, you can get a Gyro + Chips for $10 after 10p Wed-Sat. What a deal for those of you who stay up past 9 (unfortunately that person is not me, but I have full confidence in their kitchen for the night owls)
Try: A favorite thing to do this time of year is an up-island farm stand crawl. A few open right now are Beetlebung, Ghost Island, North Tabor and Mermaid Farm. It’s like a DIY Farmer’s Market with beautiful views along the ride.
