Today we ventured out to Gloucester and Rockport, MA. We had lunch at a small place in Rockport that was right on the ocean. We got to sit outside and watch the waves. Alex had a fat lobster with corn on the cob and potatoes and the best clam chowder I've ever tasted. It was a neat little town. Then we drove back to Gloucester (we drove through part of it and down to Wingearsheek Beach just to take a peek before lunch).
Gloucester is home to oldest seaport in the U.S. and is the town where the crew of the Andrea Gail, the fishing boat in the Perfect Storm, hailed from. We saw the Fisherman's Memorial and sat and watched the boats for awhile. Then we went back to Wingearsheek Beach and this time we hung out on the beach for about an hour. I got to put my toes in the water...and we just relaxed for a bit before heading home.
We'd like to go to Ipswich tomorrow to Crane Beach:
