Gloucester

I wrote an entry about my whale watching experience on the Massachusetts page. Definitely lots of fun, and I recommend doing it if you are ever here. 7 seas whale watching tours are great and they guarentee a sighting.

We went to Gloucester last weekend, and I loved it. It was supposed to be ninety four, so we decided it was a great day to go to the beach. We went to Stage Fort Park, where there was a cool breeze. We had a picnic while we watched some people get married by the gazebo. Then, we went to the playground so Anders could ride in the swing and on the squirrel bouncer. After that, it was off to the beach. We didn’t go swimming, but we did wade in the water and Anders played in/ate the sand. I loved that the beach was shady with huge rocks on either side. The leaves were just starting to change, too, so it was really pretty.

Later, we went more downtown to see the fisherman statue, and appropriately, it started getting stormy. We went downtown for some coffee to wait out the storm, which was one of the most intense I have experienced. It was a really fun day, and I am happy that we go to go.

I loved it. Great place for seafood and whale watching. I loved to swim there. I was not a local so it was a little confusing with all the rotaries. I totally recommend going. Great place to shop is downtown. Very cool. I got an “I love Glosta” bear. Very quaint and charming place. The cemeteries aren’t very creepy there like some people find them.

I’ve been here more times than I can count. Beautiful and right next to the ocean. Amazing place!

Cape Ann is just as good as Cape Cod, but without the crowds in summer.

and I am lucky enough to be invited for a visit while he is there. This weekend a group of us converged to go to the beach, cook & eat together, read Sunday papers, chat & just generally enjoy the area. Gloucester is a comfortable Cape Ann seaside town with good seafood, fun shopping and a great combo of locals and tourists. Check it out.

raised here. Stunning.

This is a cool little town, which incidentally has some decent surf spots.
