International Film Festival, Wind Festival, Aquinnah Powow, MV Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby Begins, Restaurant Closures
We may be biased but… this is our favorite week all year. So much so, that it’s also the week we got married! We celebrate our second wedding anniversary today, and both took the week off to enjoy. Say hi if you see us about town!
☀️ Weather Report: We’re starting to get those chills in the morning in the low 60’s, but this weekend it should be sunny and mid-70s during the day! Time to break out those light jackets for the mornings!
