Dorchester/South Shore Day – Seaport Night

We had few plans for our big day together with Carter and Claire. Russ and I started out walking up to Carter’s apartment for one last visit. The window boxes on Mount Vernon St. were worthy of the houses.

Russ loved Carter’s place and I loved that I am to going to have to walk up the five flights of stairs again, especially. To when she has to move out.

We drove to Claire’s building which is also going to be Carter’s when they move into a two bedroom in July. The building is lovely. They have secured assigned parking which is the biggest bonus. We got breakfast from the cute American Provisions cafe next door and ate on their roof deck with Norman, their dog.

If I had ordered the weather I could not have made it better than today. Cool, no humidity, sunny perfection. We decided to take a drive to the south shore, going back roads to Hingham, Cohasset and Scituate. We stumbled upon Cohasset strawberry festival with the community band playing on the village green and the Unitarian Church selling lobster rolls.

Norman Rockwell could have painted up this scene.

Carter and Claire showed us all their favorite homes and neighborhoods. The dream is to have. Shingle style home in one of these places one day. It never hurts to dream.

Because of the Strawberry festival parking nightmare we went on to Scituate and got a snack and walked Norman along the water. I needed a car nap after that.

Tonight Russ and I walked to the Seaport and met the girls at LoLa42 for a special dinner. Carter had told them it was Russ’ birthday. It is not. Still we got nice treatment and a yummy dinner. We walked the fan and enjoyed the last light as it was setting. Such a fun day with our girls.
