On Friday morning we packed up our stuff and left the cottage. We were a few minutes early for meeting Heather at
Lobsta Land so we went to check out the village of Annisquam in Gloucester. It was our lucky day! The Annisquam Exchange was open. It's a thrift and consignment shop. We poked around in there for 15 minutes, found a few things we couldn't live without and then headed over to Lobsta Land. Heather and I have been friends since way back (1990) when we both worked in Boston in the fast-paced crazy business of commercial photography. About once or twice a year we get to see each other and it's always a fun time. Heather treated us to lunch at Lobsta Land in honor of our 10th anniversary.
After lunch, just for the halibut, we drove up to Halibut Point State Park . One of my favorite places to explore. There was once a granite quarry here. There's also all kinds of paths to walk down to the rocks on the ocean. I love it here! Trevor had never been here and he really liked it too.

We came across these little rock cairns that someone left. It reminded me of the rock cairns marking the trails in Arches National Park in Utah. No ocean there, though.
More rock cairns at Halibut Point. After poking around for about an hour (I could have stayed a lot longer...), we headed back to the truck and then went in search of the $2.97/gallon (yes, it's true!) gas we saw the day before. Once the truck was full we hopped on Rte 128 South and headed home! All in all, it was a fabulous trip and I wish we could have stayed longer. We'll just have to go back !
