I’ve always wanted to go to Historic Deerfield. Tony would enjoy that too. Let us know when you and Dale want to go, and let’s all go together!

I think you and Dale should plan to go whale watching with Ken and I this September.

I do not like to shop, except for books and yarn. I do not like malls. But I have been to Providence Place and want to go back. We were there for 2 hours and barely scratched the surface. All the stores you would have to go to Boston or Hingham for are there, in one place with convenient parking. Plus a designer consignment store! Maybe I was swept away because it’s been decades since I’ve been in a Pottery Barn, but it was like a magical Narnia to me. A Narnia without the lion, the witch or the Biblical allegory. Well, okay, a Narnia with kids and a wardrobe and really cool pots and pans. C.S. Lewis must have died before he got to the pots and pans.

I love the sandwich glass museum and the tea house nearby is the best

This sounds a lot like my list would be…it’s amazing how we always manage to NOT go to places that are practically right in our backyard, isn’t it? We were hoping to get to do a weekend away (we were thinking of Portland, or Cape Ann) before the peanut arrives but I don’t think it’s going to happen now…

I HAVE, however, been to Webs. And Historic Deerfield.

Haven’t been to Historic Deerfield, Fruitlands, or the Sandwich Glass Museum, but they’re on my list (the one in my head, anyway). And I can vouch for the rest. The cafe at the Gardner was always yummy; American Seasons on Nantucket is deeelicious; there are good LYSes near the Peabody Essex (Seed Stitch in Salem and Yarns in the Farms up a little ways in Beverly Farms). When we’re in Bath for the summer we try to get down to Portland every once in a while – love the Old Port neighborhood, and it’s fun to catch a Sea Dogs game.

Great list! Some I’ve been to, some I’ve been meaning to go to, and a few I’ve never heard of (Fruitlands? looks interesting!).
Portland is a great little city with tons of restaurants, pubs, yarn shops, museums, and more. Come in the spring or fall or you’ll be amidst all the tourists! (I’m sure you’re used to that in your part of the world too).

I went to the Peabody Essex a coupla decades ago and it was very interesting then… I’ve never been to Webs either! Portland has yarn! Portland has lobster! Portland has boats! Portland has ferry rides out to the islands! Portland has a fabulous bakery (the Standard Bakery)! Portland has an art museum!

Very neat places! I love musems – and I still haven’t been to the two I want to go to – #2 and #3 on your list…

I think you need to take Dale to Gettysburg. ;^)
