slip & slide

memorial day

newburyport

after packing up camp we headed into beautiful newburyport for some exploring and on a hunt for one of these...our first lobster roll of the season!

mission accomplished! man o man was it yummy...i'm still thinking about it! afterward we took a walk along the pier to look at all the boats and other beautiful surroundings!

ella encouraged us to stay and watch those 2 fish up their being filleted...gross yet fascinating at the same time! bennett was quite amused by all the silly dress-up clothes found in a really fun antiques barn along the way. a great way to end a wonderful weekend on the north shore!
