Turkey Xings – Vineyard-bred Take A Photo – To put in your scrap book or share your most Instagrammable moment with friends, there’s no shortage of beautiful places to make memories. turkeys are abundant, relatively tame birds, with nothing to fear but spring hunting season, a snowy winter, and fast moving cars. Very Vineyard - otherwise known as that elusive Vineyard Vibe. For some people it strikes as they’re disembarking the ferry, for others it happens as they watch the brilliant hues of the over-thewater sunset, and for others the moment they realize they haven’t looked at their phone for hours, and might never pick it up again! The Yard - “For me, this Yard would be a playground without walls. A place to explore, experiment, and construct. A place of possibility, joy, love, anger, frustration; a space in which to come together and to be alone.” - Patricia Nanon, The Yard Founder Under the Sea – The bounty of the Atlantic surrounds us, offering fun, beauty, and so much wonderful seafood and shellfish! You can catch it yourself, or just sit back and enjoy a chef’s specialty. Not to mention all the sea treasures along our shores, from sea glass to beautiful sea shells and more. Wampanoag Native American Tribe – The original people named the Island Noepe, or ‘land amid the streams,’ and farmed and fished on this land for millennia. Tribal members suffered at the hands of the English settlers who colonized and renamed the Island, but persevered and became a federally recognized tribe in 1987, establishing the tribal home in Aquinnah. Zzzzz – What we really mean is Ahhhhh…the beautiful sensation that all is well with the world in this moment because you’ve escaped from reality and landed on a small island called Martha’s Vineyard. Breathe. Repeat. You’re home. 2022 -23 Travel Guide 77
