Busy Day in Beantown...

Jess and I have been pretty busy today. We decided to take a road trip to a different beach than usual this weekend to check out Plum Island. This is yet another natural reserve which happens to be across the bay from one of our favorite beaches in MA, Crane Beach. While the beach was nice, it just wasn't the same as Crane. Perhaps it was the seaweed in the water or the windstorm that nearly sandblasted our legs to the bone. I'll tell you though, we were one of maybe 50 people on the beach which made for a very nice relaxing morning.

Apparently, Plum Island is a very large nature reserve dedicated to birds such as the black-throated green warbler. While we didn't see this bird, we did happen to stumble upon one of it's famous nests, a very rare find.

Jess and I even thought about giving the birds an offer on their place. To our dismay they were only interested in people without pets, damn birds.

At lunch we visited one of the many towns that dot the coast. This day we happened into Newburyport. This is a big contender of a town when we leave the city. It reminded us of Annapolis with it's brick oneway main street and botique shops. Jax was even lucky enough to get a toy from the trip!

Well, that's life in Boston, hope you all are enjoying the weekend.
