We love this little town. It’s got so much character and so much pretty.

This weekend marks my first official Rockport trip of the season. Every summer I make countless trips up here with Zan and his family {they’ve been coming up to this part of the North Shore for years and YEARS} and this time I was glad to have my own parents with me for the ride. It was cold, but beautiful, and most definitely the perfect way to enjoy a sunny Saturday in late spring.

Favorites:

A walk down Bearskin Neck to the harbor’s edge. Peak in the shops, take pictures by the Jetty. Breathe in the salty air and think about the good life.

If you come during the day, have lunch at My Place By The Sea. It’s a special once-a-year event for us. Definitely pricey, but the views and seafood make it worth it.

Ice Cream at Molly’s Sweet Tooth. Get the peanut butter cup ice cream {it’s Richardson’s!} and I promise you won’t be sorry.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m sure ready for summer.

16 MORE DAYS!
