Monday we ate Maine Lobster for lunch and then some of the group hung out at the beach while Gary cooked ribs for the gang. Richard took the RV to the beach so Greg and the boys could sleep close to the water. The weather was still hot and muggy so we stayted close to the AC most of the day.
Tuesday was still pretty warm but we headed north through New Hampshire and into Freeport, ME to LL Bean. Kelly and Greg found back to school bookpacks, lunch boxes, etc. for the boys and we found a little Italian sandwich place for lunch. Afterward we drove down US Highway 1 near the ocean and viewed many beautiful homes and scenic countryside. We headed back and had a great dinner at a place called Flatbread's in downtown Amesbury, MA. Very thin pizza with little sauce but out of this world!!!
Today we were very busy with a one-hour tour of the Merrimac River and the the beautiful marshland surrounding it. The tour guide was a biology teacher and covered many facts about the history and biology of the river and surrounding area. We saw lots of birds including a mature bald eagle. After lunch in downtown Newburyport, we headed to the beach. Today's temperature was in the mid 70's and many, many people were out at the beach enjoying the mild temperature. The boys played in the cold water and the sand and Gwen enjoyed both as well. After beach time we changed and headed to dinner at Michael's, a very nice seafood restaurant on the bank of the Merrimac on the Newburyport side near the drawbridge. The food was great and the service was terrific! Richard's daughter Allison (also a professional photographer) took great care of us and even took a few photos for us.Marilyn and I headed for the ice cream shop and then to the room. Tomorrow we are planning on taking the train to Boston. Should be a big day!!
