Beach Day!

Last week was my roommate's birthday, so she and I and Nic and Ivy went to the little town of Rockport on the coast of Massachusetts where she was born and lived the first few years of her life. It was a lovely New England beach town that almost too idyllic.

We stopped by The Coffee Shop and got coffee, hot chocolate, and Norwegian coffee bread, which was delicious.

Then we went and ate it on the beach.

Here is the view.

We looked for cool shells.

And we found some!

This cemetery was across the street from the beach. Nic, Ivy, and Elizabeth look appropriately freaked out, if you can tell. Also, note the crypt on the right.

We went to a bookstore that used to be a bank.

And then had a picnic out on a jetty.

Here is the view of the town and the land across the way.

There were also cool seaweed covered rocks. All in all, New England beaches were much rockier than Florida beaches.

And then we went to a store called Rocking Cupcakes and got Elizabeth a birthday cupcake. It was absurd. We got two, actually, and almost couldn't finish them because they were so sugary.

We took walks around and looked at the shops and the houses and it was lovely. And here is one last picture of me.

And tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Get ready for a great big update! Right now, through, I need to run to the grocery store!
