Gloucester

Welcome! This is my kickoff blog. I'd love to hear from you so please let me know if you are enjoying your time here.

The family and I went up to Gloucester, Ma (northeast of Boston) over the weekend to visit some friends. They live on a hill that overlooks Ipswich Bay. It is simply beautiful and such a relaxing place to be. The kids enjoyed playing on the rocky terrain and they were excited to take a walk down to Lighthouse Beach to dig for clams. While walking down we noticed the clouds rolling in and realized we had limited time before the rain came. We were probably at the beach for about 5 minutes when it started to pour. Isabelle was so upset because she hadn't had the chance to dig in the sand. Tom ended up carrying both children back to the house, which is a climb let me tell you. I was huffing and puffing by the time we got back. I really don't know how he mangaged to carry two thirty pound children up such steep, rocky terrain. Overall the trip was a huge success. It was great to visit with our friends and catch up. It was also great to see the children having so much fun.
