The Last Week in August

Hardly seems possible that this is the last week in August. It has been a magnificent summer -- even the thunder storms were exciting and usually in the evening or at night. Great how cooperative the weather is here.

Our Labor Day Weekend Picnic is September 30th from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Bring your own drinks and the rest will be provided -- smoked ribs, chicken and beef brisket. We will have a yellow potato salad with capers, our own corn salad, pasta salad, brownies and more.

Some events coming up for this week, so you can plan your trip are on Saturday, August 23rd there is a Farmers' market on Old colony Way in Orleans Center, 8:00 AM to Noon. The Harwich Conservation Trust is giving free guided tours from 9 AM to noon lasting 1 to 2 hours. Call 508-432-3997 for details.

Of course, there is always a stroll through Wellfleet to enjoy all the galleries. Golf is a staple here, and there are some amazing courses for beginners to old pros. Certainly if your golf game isn't up to par, the views will make up for it. Some of our guests have even taken sailing lessons. Said it was awesome. A lazy kayak trip through the salt marshes is a peaceful way to spend the afternoon, and get a little exercise too.

We have a couple of nights available on Monday and Tuesday. We have our Guest House 5 available for three nights starting on Wednesday. And, we have three one-night special rooms -- one on Thursday and two on Friday. See you on Cape Cod at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa.

Labor Day

The weather today is absolutely amazing. The summer seems to be speeding by, so just wanted to remind everyone of our Labor Day picnic, which will be held on September 30th from 5:30 to 7:30. Our special Jack Daniel's cask wood is ready and waiting to smoke those mouth watering ribs, chicken and beef brisket -- yummy! Also, on the menu is a caper potato salad, our own recipe for corn salad, navy beans, parsley and scallion salad, and of course, Mrs. Boyer's famous baked beans, plus other salads and brownies for desert.

However, if you can't make it to the picnic or that weekend, we do have availability during the week before labor day. So take advantage of the amazing weather that is found on Cape Cod -- don't always listen to the weatherman, as we are 40 miles out to sea and our weather does differ from Boston.

So take that last summer fling and we will see you at The Whalewalk Inn & Spa.
