Celebrating Independent Bookstore Day!
Yesterday was a busy day at Eight Cousins Books signing stacks of Cape Cod & The Islands Family Fun Guide.
Did you know Independent Bookstore Day is today, April 25th? There is no better way to kick it off than by supporting the local shops that keep our community’s stories alive. Whether you're looking for my guidebook to ride shotgun with you around Cape Cod or looking for a romantic beach read, today is the perfect day to stop by and browse at your local indie bookstore.
Support local, read well! 📚✨

While Boston is enjoying 65°F and sunshine, we’re out here in our yellow slickers and L.L. Bean flannels! 🌧️ Ever notice how every "rainy day" list is for kids? I decided it was time for the grown-ups to have some fun.Don't let the coastal mist keep you inside. I’ve put together a list of my favorite adult "hideouts," from boutique bowling and BBQ to rare-find bookstores.
Read the latest "Day Tripper" here: https://open.substack.com/pub/daytrippercapecod/p/rainy-day-fun-for-grown-ups-finding?r=4sjzcd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

P.S. Where is your favorite rainy day hideout on the Cape? Let me know in the comments! 👇

We’ve all seen those "Rainy Day Activities for Kids" lists. But have you ever seen a list of rainy day fun specifically for grown-ups? Come to think of it, I haven’t either.

BIG NEWS! After years of rumors and engineering studies, the Cape Cod Canal Zip Line is finally a reality. We were lucky enough to snag some early-access passes for the grand opening from the Sagamore side. Who’s ready to fly over the canal? 🚠💨 !

They say you don't need a calendar on Cape Cod—you just need to watch the flowers. 🌼
When the first daffodils are blooming at Stony Brook, it means the herring are officially on the move! Seeing thousands of alewives battle their way upstream is one of the most powerful signs of spring throughout the Cape.
If you’re looking for the best spots to witness the run (and other "hidden gems" for the family this season), I’ve mapped them all out for you!
My new book, "Cape Cod and the Islands Family Fun Guide," is packed with over 250 local adventures like this one. Pre-order your copy at the link in my bio to get ready for your best Cape summer yet!
