Thursday at the Essex Shipbuilding with O’Maley’s 8th graders

Being over there for the second day, I am learning as well about how to build a boat.  These kids really pay attention and enjoy seeing what is built with their own hands.  The rope Grommet was interesting to watch being made, the kids under the boats drilling and the sanding of the oars was educational as well as fun.  The Essex Shipbuilding Museum staff, the O’Maley teachers and the kids made for a wonderful couple of days.  Thank you for the invite.

O’Maley 8th graders at the Essex Shipbuilding building 2 boats

This is my 3rd year being invited to take photos over at the Essex Shipbuilding in Essex, as the O’Maley’s 8th graders make 2 boats on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The teachers, Amy Donnelly and David Brown are terrific and the kids really learn from them.  The staff at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum help out so much teaching the kids how to build a boat.  Love these 8th graders and their enthusiasm making something with their own hands.  The photos below are from Wednesday.

Rick and my 35th anniversary at Gloucester’s spectacular Beauport Hotel

What can we say about this jewel in Gloucester.  From the time we checked in to the time we checked out, our experience was stellar.  The staff was attentive, polite, pleasant and happy to have us there.  Our room was outstanding with a view that took our breath away with a lovely balcony.  The heated pool and hot tub on the rooftop is incredible.  The staff on the rooftop were always making sure the tables and chairs were clean.  There were plenty of towels and our lunch on the rooftop was delicious.  The pool was so wonderful and very calming.  The conversations on the pool rooftop with other guests were inspiring from newly weds to families.  Also during our fun afternoon on at the pool, the staff came around with free ice cream sandwiches. When we got back to our room there was a box of chocolates with a lovely Anniversary card for Rick and I.  After taking a wonderful shower we went to dinner and had a great meal again with stellar service.  Coming back to room we noticed that the towels were all changed without us having to need to ask for extra towels.  The beautiful sunset at the end of the evening was just what two busy people needed.  After a great night’s sleep we went down to the breakfast buffet and again not disappointed with the food, staff and view.  Visiting the gift shop with Kathy was so nice.  They have great gifts and treasures.  Here is some photos of our time at the Beauport Hotel.  I would like to thank this wonderful hotel and staff for such a wonderful stay.
