I'm really fortunate to live in a pretty little seaside city on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Newburyport is a place that people talk about taking a day trip to, yet I get to 'day trip' here every day. During any season Newburyport has views worth boasting about, but here are some of my favorites for late summer. There is boardwalk access right across the street from my house. The boardwalk runs along the river all the way into downtown, and this is the scenery along the way. Cider Hill Farm in Amesbury is just a short drive - or scooter ride - away.

Living so close to Boston, it's unusual for me to actually spend the night there. On Thursday, Dan and I used a free hotel night at the Sheraton Boston. This is not your parent's hotel! Sheraton recently renovated all of their properties and it shows. From the free samples of Starbuck's Frappuccino in the lobby to the soothing brown and green decor in the room to the oversize photos of Boston landmarks throughout, it's a very comfortable place to spend the night. With just one night in town we had to make it count. First stop was Bukowski's, conveniently located practically out the front door of the hotel. Not for food this time (but the pub [...]
