Weekends at the North Shore
July 25, 2010
Isn’t summer spectacular?I’m so in love with it.
Yesterday we headed up to Gloucester to spend the afternoon at Good Harbor Beach. It was Zan’s sister Nell’s Birthday so we had dinner and cake while the sun was setting. Then we headed to historic Rockport (above) to walk Bearskin Neck while licking ice cream cones. I try to never forget it, but it’s days like yesterday that make me remember why summer is my favorite.
Today we’ve decided to do it again! We’re heading up soon, to the beaches of the North Shore, to have another glorious summer day.
Hope you’re having a good weekend!
Jamaica Pond
July 16, 2010
Last Sunday, after our Saturday of dealing with the rain (plus eating Five Guys), Zan and I went to Jamaica Pond to enjoy a beautiful walk around the pond on a beautiful (and HOT) summer day. This was my first experience actually walking around the pond, although not viewing the pond since I often babysit right up the street.
In a nut shell, Jamaica Pond is awesome.
And now for a little history:
“Jamaica Pond is a kettle pond, part of the Emerald Necklace of parks in Boston designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The pond and park are in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, close to the border of Brookline. It is the source of the Muddy River, which drains into the lower Charles River.
The pond has an area of about 68 acres, and is 53 feet deep at its center, making it the largest body of fresh water in Boston, and the largest natural freshwater body in the lower Charles River watershed. It is ringed by a walking path, and is an extremely popular destination for Bostonians for walking, fishing, and sailing.”
-Thanks, Wikipedia
If you ever have the chance go and give the pond a look (and head over to Larz Anderson Park while you’re at it). It’ll give you another reason to L-O-V-E Boston!!
July everlasting…
