It was our last day in Massachusetts and we wanted to see the sea one last time. We took the long way around to the North Shore of Massachusetts. Our first stop was Gloucester which is America’s oldest seaport. It’s also the home of Gorton’s fish products.
We stopped and had lunch at The Lobster Pool which is just past Rockport. We enjoyed our lunch dining right on the water. We drove back to Rockport and were able to find a parking spot some distance away from downtown. We ended up spending a few hours walking around the downtown taking pictures and checking out the various shops.
We didn’t want to go back to the city and eat at a chain restaurant so Karen found a place not too far from Rockport called Woodman’s of Essex. The restaurant was in the Adam Sandler movie “Grown Ups”. The lobsters are lined up out front like veggies at the market. You can pick your own, the guy drops it in the water, cracks it open, and dinner is served. We enjoyed our final dinner of fish “in the rough” which means dining on the picnic tables out back of the restaurant.
We drove home after a great day of sight-seeeing but not before stopping at Marshalls and Macy’s.
