While Amy was staying with us, we did manage to do a few fun touristy things. The first full day she was here was a rainy Sunday. Our friend Lisa (moved to Boston from Austin about a year ago) joined forces with Amy, Dylan and myself to do a tour of Orchard House. This is where Louisa May Alcott lived when she wrote the beloved story Little Women. We had a great tour guide and a sleeping baby so the tour was very enjoyable for all of us! I love it when visitors come to town and I get to take advantage of all the great historical sites this area has to offer.

Tuesday was forecasted to be a nice day so Mike and I wanted to take a little road trip and show Amy one of our favorite day trip destinations - Rockport! It's a cute little seaside town with great shopping.

As promised, the weather was fantastic. We had fun shopping and buying treats for ourselves, bought some swordfish steaks fresh off the boat from neighboring town Gloucester to take home, and enjoyed some ice cream. It was a great little day trip.
The next day, Amy, Dylan and I went to Allandale Farm near our house to stock up on some fresh veggies. We also bought some pumpkins, including a small size for Dylan, for Halloween carving.
That evening, Mike grilled up those swordfish steaks and some of the veggies for a fantastic dinner!
Other than those few trips, we spent the week hanging out, chatting and playing with Dylan. One of his favorite alter egos that he, nor we, get enough of is SuperBaby! He just loves flying around the house!
SUPERBABY!
It was a great week with a great friend. I'm so glad she was able to come spend some time with our family and get to know the newest adorable family member.
