Monday Monday...It was actually a great day!

Day 3 in Boston was one fabulous day! Surprising for a Monday! We started out by traveling outside of Boston, exploring the less touristy surroundings. We picked up our rental car in a not so pleasant part of town. We thought we were purchasing our rental car from the cheapest enterprise rental car. That should have tipped us off. As we walked from the T to enterprise, we kept looking around thinking this looked kind of sketchy, but oh well.

So we hopped in our car...


We were so excited to be traveling outside of the city, to see what Massachusetts had to show us...


Our first stop...IPSWICH, MA! What would fall in New England be without checking out the local produce. Cassie's coworker grew up in the area and recommended we try a local apple farm. Having worked on a fruit farm in high school, it was really fun to be there. We picked apples and checked out the pumpkin patch. Did you know there were so many different varieties of apples? It was fantastic, if we could have made a pie, we would have!



Second stop...MARBLEHEAD, MA, but on the way we had to stop in ESSEX, MA to get some fantastic clamcakes. We stopped at Woodman's to try the local fare.

That is the only problem with visiting great farmer markets - not having the ability to really use the produce you discover!
