On Sunday my mom came to visit me and we drove up to Essex. I had last visited back in December on a cold, rainy day. It was just the opposite this time around, sunny and extremely hot. I loved seeing the town in a different season. The hydrangeas are at their peak in July.

We ate lunch at Abbey's Place, a cute casual restaurant overlooking the water. I had an arugula, red onion, feta and seared shrimp salad.

My mom spotted Bliss... we agreed that was a great boat name.

Even the garage is cute.
