Saturday our objective was the Bourne Scallop Festival and the freshest, most succulent shellfish that just melts on the tongue. The day was very successful and absolutely yummy. There was musical entertainment in the big tent, a small arts & crafts show, kids rides and a midway. The music was the best IMHO.
It's charming events like that we look for when we can take a couple of days off.
Politics aside, the northeast is a magical place with mountains, lakes, charm, color and rich history. Plus in growing season (of course), it's greener than most places.
Did you come up for autumn when you visited?
Your holiday sounded so wonderful. I love seafood, especially scallops...fixed any way! Isn’t it good to just get away for a couple of days.....very refreshing!
We were there in October. It was so lovely. We spent most of our time in the Boston area but did drive through New Hampshire and then spent a couple of days in Vermont. I loved Vermont. Then back through NH and into Kennebunkport. We spent two days there before heading to Salem and then back to Boston. I think we only spent one night in the Salem area.
The history of Boston was a tremendous experience and seeing the natural beauty of NH and VT was awesome.
We enjoyed Kennebunkport and a little of the Maine coast. It was fun seeing Bush 41’s (Vice President at the time) home.
Touring Salem was fun and entertaining. It seems that vacations are never long enough. There are always things that you miss. I would have liked to see Cape Cod. Maybe some day. :)
I’m glad you had a nice holiday and the Bourne Scallop Festival sounds wonderful. I can almost taste those scallops.
Sounds like a wonderful get away!
