Visiting with beautiful Madeleine

Picnic lunch in Newburyport

On Wednesday this week Ray and I decided to pack a picnic lunch and wend our way to Newburyport, Ma. It was such a lovely day. We sat on a bench on the boardwalk and watched all the people with their children and dogs go by. There was plenty of water traffic as well. Alicia, Thijs and Evie joined us for lunch. The tall ship Alabama was docked at the boardwalk and invited people to visit. So Alicia, Thijs, Evie and I went on board to have a look. What a beautiful ship. The pictures below can attest to that. We had a great day.

This was the largest Great Dane I've ever seen.
A beautiful dog and friendly too. His name is Morgan.

The is the "Prince of Whales". It's a ship that
gives tours of Newburyport.
