Sunday was a beautiful day. Tim and I ventured up to Rockport, MA to spend the day by the ocean. We poked around the downtown shops, walked through the Halibut Point State Park, enjoyed a picnic lunch overlooking the quarry, got a lot of sun (a little too much), and finished up with a drink and some oysters at 7th Wave Restaurant. Everything was just so pretty that I couldn’t help but snap all these pictures. I must say, I’m pretty lucky to have a boyfriend who plans days like this for me, even down to the picnic lunch. He even made the picnic lunch! On the menu? Chicken sandwiches with sliced apples and brie on fancy bread, a homemade multi-grain pasta salad, and homemade strawberry lemonade. Tim and I try our best to alternate planning a date night for each other each month, but I’ll take a date day like this over a date night anytime. It was the perfect start to the summer.
What is your ideal summer day? Have you ever been to Rockport?
I grew up going to the beaches of Rockport and Gloucester with my family almost every summer weekend, but I hadn’t explored the state park until this weekend!
Love the pictures! I’ve never been to Rockport, but after seeing this I want to go!
It’s so pretty! A great day trip 🙂

My ideal summer day definitely involves the beach!!!
What a fun date day!! Looks gorgeous!
Mine usually involves the beach as well! Or sun in some way.

I need a Tim! haha that is a super fun day, but my favorite part is the picnic lunch! how cute:)
Yeah, he’s a keeper! Plus he just likes to cook. He told me the title of this post should be “My boyfriend is better than yours” but that would be rude.

This definitely made me want to take my new picnic basket out for a day trip! I love those pink shorts, by the way! Looks like an awesome date 🙂
Thanks — Old Navy last season! It was a fun day, so I would definitely break out your picnic basket soon. Let me know if you need a picnic buddy 😉

What great pictures, and a gorgeous day! Lots of good memories at the Rockport/Gloucester beaches! I notice you are not venturing too far out that jetty-wonder who taught you that!
Ha! Tim makes fun of me every time because I won’t go past the first stone!

My brother was just married at Halibut State Park! It was my first time to Rockport and I thought it was gorgeous. We rented a house right in town, it was so much fun. Great pictures!
What a small world! That sounds like so much fun. I bet they have beautiful pictures from their wedding day with the views from the park!
