Happy Patriots' Day!
Heather, Mark, Kate, and I explored Rockport and Gloucester this weekend. We arranged a getaway with no plan or agenda and minimal research beforehand, just a reservation at a bed & breakfast in Rockport. A vacation with absolutely no agenda is the way to go - it was so incredibly relaxing to wander off without a destination or a timetable and just make our way.
As for the towns, Rockport is a quaint old sea town - some great neighborhoods with weathered old houses although the Bearskin Neck shopping area bordered on being too cutesy for me. I'm more a fan of the gritty urban Gloucester type, but Rockport & Gloucester truly had something for everyone.

Jon, you should have told me you were heading to Cape Ann. You know Mama Irwin is from Gloucester, right? And from going up there EVERY Sunday for about 10 years, I could have given you some tips. Did you go to Farnham's Clam Shack?
