Marblehead


Good morning friends.  Looks like bitter temps are sweeping the country and Massachusetts is not exempt.  Can't complain though because there is very little wind and the sun is strong.  

This is Part 2 of my Salem post.  After enjoying a delicious lunch on the water, we decided to make a little detour before heading home.

We stopped in the beautiful coastal town of Marblehead which is situated on the North Shore along Massachusetts Bay and Salem Harbor.  This scenic town holds the title of "Yachting Capital of the World."  When the Mister and I buy our yacht, we will be sure to stop by again and have lunch.



Marblehead also claims the (disputed) title of Birthplace of the American Navy.


The Mister and I parked in the town and strolled some of the residential areas.  Marblehead looks more like a movie set than a real town.










Must be nice not having to worry about mowing your front lawn.  Very little shoveling, too!






















I love all the pretty paint colors of the homes.





Our first stop in our yacht will be here for lunch.










This consignment shop had some of the best stuff!









A good time had by all!  
Now back to the puppies!

Hope you have great plans for the weekend!

  3. What a lovely town. I have been to Salem several times but never Marblehead. Need to put it on my list of places to visit next year (along with Boston & Newport which I haven't visited in years). Hugs, Dawn

  6. Love spots like Marblehead. Reminds me of Stonington, CT.
    I always see spots like that and say that I could live there. Next time, take me with you!
