Growing up Crowley: Day Trip

Well, it was a Morning Trip to be more accurate. We ventured out to Rockport, a short 38 minute drive door to parking space. We arrived just as Maura was waking from her nap which worked perfectly. It's a great area to walk around, very scenic and full of little shops and artist galleries with everything from stained glass to airbrushing to pewter something or other. Most shops were not stroller friendly, aside from the "Fudgery" which was charming and reminded me of Maine and Cape Cod vacations from ages ago. Nathan charmed the owner who made the big stuffed animal bear wave for him. Nathan isn't as fond of fudge as Maura, but I have yet to find anything aside from peas that she won't eat.
We roamed for a while, and watched boats entering the harbor. It was perfect weather for this, a nice sea breeze and strong sun let us enjoy our hot dogs outdoors overlooking the other side of the harbor. After lunch we quickly packed up and headed home so the kids could not nap. Such is life.
