365: Day 81- Halibut Point State Park

3/22/14: I really wanted to bring Stephanie and Jim to a nice ocean spot during their visit even though it's only March and still pretty cold. It looked like we had the best shot for decent temperatures on Saturday, so we forged ahead to Rockport, MA with a 40% chance of rain.

It rained the ENTIRE 90 minute drive up north, but the clouds cleared and the sun started shining as we got closer to Halibut Point. The rain miraculously stopped as we pulled in the parking lot!


I was amazed by the beauty of the quarry at this time of year.


We made our way down to the big rocks, checking out lots of stuff along the way.


Finally we made it to the water where there was so much to see and so many pictures to take!


Between Stephanie and I we have lost 80 pounds in the last 9 months, so we needed to take a "sister power" picture :)


We had such a wonderful afternoon taking in this beautiful place, enjoying the sunshine and the ocean and each other's company.


Before we left S&Z had to take a stop at the rock pile to build some stuff.


Unfortunately, it was a LONG walk back to the car for a certain someone...

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
