Flags on Magnolia Pier

I love the Magnolia Pier with the flags and flowers in the front.  It never disappoints.

Cider Hill Farm Great Take for Children

We decided to take a ride to Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury a few days ago to see the sunflower field. The field was a little past peak so that was a small disappointment but the 50 min ride up there did not go to waste. They have a great farm shop AND lots of kid friendly (free) activities including a trike playground, chickens, equipment to explore and more. If you have children looking for some thing to do, you might consider taking the ride with them. It will provide a couple of hours of free entertainment.
