I’m curious. Help me out here. What is your favorite U.S. travel destination and why? I’d love for you to answer and comment with a couple sentences about why it’s your favorite. Thanks in advance!

It is definitely worth the short ride into Manchester to try out the Antique Table on Central Street if you haven’t been there yet. It’s been several months since our last visit but they have not missed a step in their menu or service. We made online reservations with ease. Claire was our server and she offered appropriate suggestions and careful attention to our needs. Thanks Claire!
I had chicken florentine and Jim ordered ravioli with meatballs, which we both enjoyed very much. I tried a French martini with Claire’s recommendation and it came in a frosted glass! Bonus. We tried the cannoli for dessert which was the right ending along with the Italian coffee. It’s nice to be getting back out and about in the evenings while there is still some light!

This is incredible news as Doug is one of the most creative chefs on the North Shore!!!
There was a lot of activity off Shore Road on Tuesday. Humpbacks were out there near Kettle Island very far out but we could see them. Wish the photos were better but grateful to see them.

Back where it belongs. Yesterday I posted one of my favorite signs of summer….Cape Ann Whale Watch heading out to see our local whale population as they arrive back from southern feeding grounds. Well, this is one of my other favorite signs of summer. The houseboat is back where it belongs…. I have no doubt that there are families….particularly children….who use that houseboat as an indicator that they’ve reached their destination. “Look, we’re almost there. There’s the houseboat!” I can almost hear them triumphant and giddy in their car seats! So, happy summer. Get back where you belong.

It’s a lovely spot for contemplation and gazing out to the horizon. My CB (crystal ball) looks great amongst the rocks and enjoyed a bit of a salt water bath.
