I Love New England!

I recently returned from a great little vacation in New England.  My sister and I drove to Andover, Massachusetts to visit my daughter and son-in-law and my two grandsons.  The oldest turned 14 while we were there!

We drove to Wolfeboro, NH for a day and visited some of our favorite spots and drove on two separate days to Gloucester, MA (which we loved).  While in Gloucester we drove to nearby Rocky Neck Artist Colony which is and was where some noted artists have lived and worked.  We had planned to drive over to Ogunquit, Maine which is another favorite place, but instead spent the two days in Gloucester.

Here are some pix!

I will be back up in Andover at Thanksgiving - this time my husband will go, too! I can't wait!

Thanks for stopping by.

    We were in Gloucester this weekend, Bob taking pictures of the lighthouse at Annisquam. That certainly was a challenge to find!

    Glad you enjoyed your trip and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it!

    Thanks for sharing your photo's. I've never been there but my ancestors lived there many years ago. The marina is so pretty and serene looking.
