We took a trip up the coast to Rockport, Mass. and stayed in the perfect seaside retreat.

The house has 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms; a good thing when 21 relatives are reuniting in it for four days. Here’s the view from the lawn:

Two working lighthouses on an island in the bay, one beach in walking distance and another, sandier beach a short drive away.
We had some lobstas:

And some steamas:
and stopped pronouncing our “r”s, especially when we went into Glousta, er, Glouchester.
The girl wrestled with and ate her own lobster, filling us with pride.

It was a great family reunion in a perfect vacation spot. We had a great time visiting with family, eating tremendous amounts of delicous food and relaxing.

We love Rockport and go there often. We stay at the Emerson Inn in Pigeon Cove. We’d like to try a house rental. How did you find this beauty, if I may ask?
Glad you had such a good time!
The house is Rocky Shores Manor http://www.rockyshores.us/manor.html
Wow – that looks fabulous! Glad you had a great time – but we’re glad you’re back, too!
Beautiful! Those lobster pics are making me hungry.
Mmmmm…. lobster.
It was a blast seeing you MJ and Mark and the kids …still waiting for the boy’s cell number so I can text him! Hugs,
“Aunt”Keri
The lobster look lovely. Oysters- not so much. What a beautiful place to vacation at. I’m glad you all had a good time.
That house is terrific!
I want lobster NOW.
That house looks just like mine. Weird.
