Daytrippin' to Gloucester and Rockport, Mass

The homes and cottages on the coast of Rockport haven't changed much in centuries.

We found a place at the end of a bluff. Good food but too cool to sit outside.

Jenée is always happy on her way to lunch. She's happy most of the time but always around lunch time.
After Labor Day weekend, Jenée and I headed up to Gloucester (Glaw-ster, or as we say in Boston Glaw-stah) - the birthplace of my grandparents. This is the place made famous by the movie "The Perfect Storm". It still is a serious commercial fishing town just like it's been for centuries. We drove through Gloucester and had lunch in Rockport. The weather was perfect, sunny and 72 degrees.

Jenée's sister Sheri visited us for 6 days just before Labor Day - her first extended trip to Boston. Of course, we stopped at Regina's Pizzaria in the North End. Sheri and Jenée had a great time checking out Boston. Hurricane Earl came through this week - hah! Nothing. I had a great time with two angels instead of the usual one.
