Rockport, Massachusetts


This morning I woke up dreaming of SPRING!  I think it's because it's March 1st and that means that one of my favorite seasons in Boston is inching closer and closer.  You really cannot beat Springtime in Boston, it's one of the most gorgeous sights I've ever seen!  The tulips and daffodils pop up in bright colors and the forsythia bushes turn their vibrant yellow color.  Planter boxes get planted full of beautiful buds of all kinds of flowers.  The dead branches from harsh winter start growing green leaves again.  It's fantastic.  

The best part about Spring is the wardrobe change!!  I like to start spending alot more time outdoors once the weather changes.  We live in a "farmhouse by the sea" in Rockport, Massachusetts, so there's plenty of outdoor activities to do near my home.

1.  Take a leisurely stroll on Bearskin Neck wearing this cute coral cardigan, white t, cute scarf, flats, and jeans.  Bearskin Neck is full of little boutiques and restaurants.  There's always a plethora of people cruising by foot up and down the neck and you have to make it to the end to get the "bonus view" of the ocean and Rockport harbor.  It's beautiful!

2.  Go see a concert at The Shalin Liu Performance Center with Rockport Music in this cute white tank and yellow skirt with a nice crisp khaki trenchcoat to ward off the slight chill of the wind off the ocean.  There's plenty of concerts to choose from!  Solo guitar or piano, jazz, big band style, or if a concert isn't what your cravin- a live Broadcast of The Metropolitan Opera or National Theater.  Tell them David sent you, this is his domain and he does a fantastic job being Director of Technical Operations!

3.  Go for a hike at Halibut Point in this comfy stripe tank, shorts, straw hat, and hiking shoes.  This backpak would be great to carry your moisturizer, snacks, and water in. The view of the rocky coastline is absolutely spectacular.  The water splashes over the jutting rocks and you just want to stand on top of a rock and cry out "I'm king of the world"!  It's seriously beautiful and relaxing too.

All opinions are my own, my husband's place of employment did not pay me to advertise how great they are!  These are a few of my favorite places in Rockport, MA, but there are soo many more great places to see!!  I hope you'll come visit us one day
