I'm amazed at how much traveling I've done these past two months! My trip to Boston and the surrounding areas seems like ages ago after my trip to Europe but I thought I 'd share with you some of the places there that I visited...
...like the Boston Convention Center (where my hubby and I attended a conference)...
...Abbot Hall in Marblehead which houses the famous painting...

...the beautiful campus of Harvard University (established in 1636)...

"The Spirit of 76" by Archibald Willard commemorating U.S. independence...
...the House of the Seven Gables, in Salem, Massachusetts, a National Historic Landmark District, which inspired the setting and title of Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1851 novel "The House of the Seven Gables"...
...and Gloucester, a popular summer destination on Cape Ann.
If we had the time, I would have wanted to go on one of the whale watching tours they were offering there.
And so was the lobster!

A lot of boats, my Dad would love it here!
We visited Essex and although there are a lot of wonderful shops there, (Wikipedia says, "The town now boasts of being the municipality with the greatest number of antique shops per square mile in the US.") we only had time to stop by the White Elephant Shop.
I bought some old and not so old books for only $1 each (I posted some of them for the What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday post after I got back). Have you noticed how I often come home with old books?
The views in Rockport...
...and Ogunquit, Maine were wonderful...

This place at the sea looks beautiful
Hi, Peggy! My husband is from Boston. Thank you for your post. I felt like I had gone back for a visit! Can't wait to see your Eurpoe pictures.
So many great photos! What a great trip :D. I was in Massachusetts the week before. Dropped by Salem, slept and hunted for sea glass in Rockport (I see you photographed Motif #1, according to the tourism info posted around town lol). And I heartily recommend Capt. Bill's for whalewatching.
