Friday Tourists

 


Friday the weather was great, so Julie and I went back to Portsmouth. We visited a couple of the shops in Market Square, Marco Polo and the Treehouse Toy Shop, and bought gifts for our grandkids, including these glow-in-the-dark magnetic butterflies.

We went on a tour of the Moffat-Ladd House, and then drove to Kittery Maine where we did some shopping at the outlet stores

 and had an alfresco lunch. 

We then visited the Stonewall Kitchen Company Store, and I might have gone a little nuts.

We then took a leisurely drive south along New Hampshire's seacoast, stopping a Wallis Sands Beach in Rye NH so Julie could tickler her toesies in the Atlantic Ocean. Julie had a rather intimate experience with the ocean, and I will leave that to her to describe later.
 

A little bit farther south we stopped at The Beach Plum in Hampton.

We got ice cream, and then walked across the street to sit on the seawall and watch the ocean.

It was a great day. It was sunny, warm, a bit breezy and very comfortable. We drove home, had dinner and called it a day.

I'm enjoying all your photos and talk of Portsmouth and the seacoast. I lived in Portsmouth for three years in the 90s, and I remember everything with great fondness. I'm so glad you can share this with your great friend Julie!

The weather certainly looked a lot better. Looks like terrific fun and eats.

Looks like a glorious day! Only ice cream at the Beach Plum? I think I would have had to try some clam chowder, a lobster roll, or BOTH!!! :o))
