View To Open Water From Beauport

September, at its very end, was warm, leaves turning…no time to stay put in the store!  Pam delightfully agreed to shop sit while I bolted to the North Shore.  Four days of great dining, book reading, long walks and a trip to Beauport, the historic Sleeper-McCann House out on the tip of Rocky Neck.  Can I just tell you, the place is jaw dropping!  Sadly I could not take photos inside Beauport…so, you must come to Gloucester and check it out for your self!

It was also Wally, my dear, elderly, pug’s last trip to the sea shore.  These days, with Wally, every event seems to be his last!  He did not take in Beauport but did stroll the beach and had a fine pee on his favorite spot of sand.

Beauport Sleeper-McCann House

Come next Spring, when you find yourself in Gloucester and you have finished your tour of Beauport, you can dine at The Franklin Cape Ann or Duckworths Bistro….I can assure you either place will more than satisfy!

Cape Ann Museum

This wonderful, worn wooden Saint stood atop one of the Catholic churches in Gloucester.  She now resides, out of the weather, in the Cape Ann Museum.  One can only imagine the numbers of fishermen and their vessels she witnessed.  Part of the charm of Gloucester, aside from its fine restaurants, is the fact that it is a viable fishing community with an active art community…all that and the Beauport Sleeper-McCann House!  How could you ask for more!
