Newbury

Hello my loves, welcome back! Over the weekend B and I went to Newbury and Newburyport for a little day trip. We try to go somewhere fun and different once a week, but the summer had been so busy with the two of us traveling opposite weekends and a lot of get togethers planned with our friends that it was nice to be able to get away for a day and spend some time with just the two of us!

I last talked about Newburyport two years ago in this post, and it all still rings true. It’s a quaint little coastal city in the northeast corner of the Bay State, with a seemingly endless supply of boutiques, coffee shops, and waterfront restaurants. We got burritos at Dos Amigos (they were so fresh and delicious it was a welcome change from the usual Moe’s/Chipotle run!) and then stopped at Black Cow Tap and Grill and sat outside on the patio at the bar, enjoying the beautiful September weather.

The real star of the show was Colby Farm in neighboring Newbury and their spectacular display of sunflowers. Less than two miles off the highway is this local farm stand which for approximately one week is home to two acres of beautiful sunflowers. If you can get there early this week you’ll still be able to see them!
