Great Salty Weekend- Cape Ann Museum

Gloucester’s So Salty – Cape Ann Museum

What a great day on Saturday visiting the ice sculptures, retail stores and restaurants participating in this fun event.  Even though it was chilly, lots of people walking around and enjoying this event.  Of course, visiting our fabulous Cape Ann Museum.  Every time we visit the Museum, we enjoy it more and more.

 

Phil Keating taking a swim on January 19 at Magnolia Beach

When walking on Shore Road, saw Phil Keating taking a swim.  Phil has plunged in the cold water before.  He is a very nice guy and very funny.  Congratulations to Phil for doing what most of us would run to a heated car.

It was getting dark and windy, so the photos are a little grainy.
