Enjoyed a wonderful time - met a new friend, reconnected with an old friend and was able to experience New England for the first time. Dined on fresh seafood, sunned our buns on the beach, shopped until we dropped and even read a book. Thank you Nicole for planning. Next time yoga on the beach for sure.
