vacation on the north shore

[mizarchivist]

I have been up in Rockport since Saturday. SO!! Have I missed anything?? No. Don't answer that. There is some internet here. /levity.

I have been to the beach every day since I arrived. There have been some truly excellent visits. QE stayed til Monday; we even had a date courtesy of the grandparents on Sunday. Crime FighterFighter had a school friend visit Monday (with her mom). By the end of lunch they were falling asleep into their French fries. Estredell and 3 of the kids joined us for beach and tie dying Tuesday. fubar and asciikitty came up as did the latter's parents on Wed.
Today my dad and I explored historic Gloucester and did a very preliminary run to Wingaersheek beach at almost high tide. They let you come and go without repaying entry so when the grands went on a kayak tour, I returned with his shortness, by which point it was almost low tide. So many hermit crabs!I finally have a decent shell collection. He came home wearing his froggy bucket as a hat.
Tomorrow QE returns in the afternoon for a romp, dinner and to bring us home. I have very much enjoyed the time off. I stopped wearing my watch 2 days ago. I am ridiculously tan, even with sunscreen. Not quite enough ice cream but I have consoled myself with a wide array of junk food. The kid has been...within reason. The weaning process is mostly complete even. I'll post pictures once I synch my tech.

Were you in Rockport, MA or Rockport, ME? I ask because J and I were in Rockport, MA on Tuesday evening. That would have been wonderful if we'd run into you.

MA- however we didn't go back to downtown in The evening. I hope you enjoyed the quaint!

my shoulders turn ut to be quite sunburned. Oops.

If your mom wanted to post one of the pics she took of me to social media, that might be a nice thing. It's like she knows something about composition or something. :)

Hey, I was in Gloucester yesterday! For a friend's funeral, sadly.

Yeah-- would that you were there for the beach. Sorry for your loss :(

Nice! Did you stay somewhere you'd recommend? (Assuming it wasn't at grandparents' house, unless they are amenable to other visitors. :)

We rented a house on Summer Street: 3BR, 1 Bath, huge common room for kitchen/dining/living. Nice, fenced in yard. It's for sale at the moment, (9R Summer) so who knows what the outcome will be 9 Summer sold while we were up.
