day trip to marblehead

through this blog, i'm truly realizing how in touch i am with the seasons. last friday, i decided it was time to take the first day trip of the spring season. i've barely done any exploring since moving to boston, and it was time to start to change that...you can't work all the time! marblehead is a 40 minute drive from our place in cambridge-amazing how close boston is to these cute seaside towns! its seems like the town is packed with sailors and vacationers in the summer. i can only imagine what it will look like 3 months from now. boats in the water, shops open past 4:30, wait times at all the local restaurants and bars...

not so in the middle of march! still, a nice day, and a welcome break from the books. we made sure to stop at the landing, right on the harbor, for a beer before heading back to the city. a little "vacation" amidst final papers, exams, and study groups!

tim hates being the subject of my photos. oh well.  we now live 45 minutes from the ocean! woo!
