Cider Hill Farm Great Take for Children

Posted on by Pat D

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.

Tuesday Schooner Challenge At Maritime Gloucester

Posted on by Pat D

We’ve had so much fun on the Tuesday Schooner Challenges from Maritime Gloucester that we had to go out again last week. It wasn’t the prettiest day, but it we were still out on the water with some of our favorite local schooners. We were aboard Isabella with AJ as our captain and Amanda as crew. The Ardelle and the Thomas E. Lannon were also participating. Always fun and a great take if you have guests in town.

What did we see? pilot whales or dolphins or…? Video from shore #GloucesterMA
