First stop today Rockport, MA. This is a small fisherman village with a ton of granite stone. The whole coastline is granite. Here's Dad walking down to the coast.
Susan, Darren and Ben workin' it on their way down to the coast
Mom trying to stay warm
Ben in front of a Granite Quarry
Dad really wanted to put his hand into the water of the Northern Atlantic Ocean so he climbed down the rock all the way. It was really cold. Then right after he stood up, a big wave came up and got his feet all wet. We were afraid he was going to be washed out to sea. :) j/k
A cute picture of Susan and Darren on the coast. Darren was nice enough to stop birding and photographing long enough to snap this picture.
Ben, Me, and Susan out on the coast. Have I mentioned yet that it was cold?
Susan and I taking our own picture. I look very determined.
Dad and Ben in front of the ocean. You know it's cold if even dad is bundled up like that. As you can see in the picture it was very overcast. There is a blizzard moving it's way up the east coast. it is supposed to hit us tonight, but I think we might get lucky enough to have it miss us.
The next stop on the road was Gloucester, MA. - Americas oldest seaport.
It was a really cute, and old village. In the middle of the city we found this tree...
...as you can see in this close up picture it is made out of lobster cages and buoys . Can you guess what they do a lot of? While there, we stopped into a small seafood restaurant after finding that the one we really wanted to go to was closed for the season. Ben and Darren were craving some fresh lobster (which they had none of) and Dad was craving a bowl of clam chowder.
Next stop: Salem, MA - home of the famous witch trials
This is Dad and I standing in the middle of the road in front of the awesome looking witches museum. We were pretty disappointed in Salem. It turns out that most of the buildings are not heated, so they are only open during warmer weather. And as we've established already, MA is NOT warm in December.
Next stop:The hotel
Darren, Dad and Mom were tired of being in the car.
Next, and final stop for the day for Susan, Ben and I: Fenway Park - home of the Boston Red Sox......-
...and temporarily home of the Boston Bruins Hockey team. They have turned the entire field into a giant ice rink. Unfortunately they were having some company party tonight, so we weren't allowed in to tour. We just had to look in from the outside, much to Ben's dismay.
