Trolley rides to the Boott textile mill museum and Boarding House Park for some good music! So much! I've lived in greater Lowell my whole life and I still find out new stuff when I visit. One of our favorite things to do is to enjoy the walking tours that start here. Most Saturdays during the summer and several during the fall may 10am there are walking history tours where experts talk about different areas of the city or topics related to the city. Lowell played a huge part in the Industrial revolution and is now undergoing its own urban renewal these days. It's an exciting place to be. Park rangers are knowledgeable about the history of the area and all the things that make Lowell an amazing place. Free parking with a validated ticket. The actual visitors center is small, but there is lots to see and a gift shop, and it's the best place to start if you want to check out the rest of the urban park's stops.

The visitor center is renovated and clean. It is a bit hidden, but offers a lot of information…read moreabout the historical landmarks of Lowell especially the Mill factories. It offers free validated parking while it is open.

If you go, definitely bring mosquito spray, a rain jacket, and an umbrella. The last thing you want is getting caught in the rain like we did... it was no fun. They did provide umbrellas, but ours was broken, so we ended up completely soaked. There's plenty of parking at the entrance, and portable potties are available before you start. The customer service has some opportunities, but overall I'm still glad I checked it out. I actually think I would've enjoyed it more in the winter than in the middle of summer. The mosquitoes were noooo joke, especially after getting drenched in the rain. Overall, it's a fun experience to do at least once if it's been on your list.

In the past I've relied on internet services to book trips, but since I've stumbled upon Colpitts Travel I've truly experienced relaxing vacations without a hitch. For instance, it is evident that she has personally visited almost every island in the Caribbean. With that she's given me first hand (and honest!) comments, recommendations, and her own photos of many hotels/beaches. Colpitts Travel is easy to find and park in downtown Andover, MA right on Main Street which is another plus for me! Kasia has worked on trips for me both in-person and over email/phone and it's been a five star experience every time. I've recommended her to my friends, who have booked honeymoons, cruises, and European trips and I've only heard good things from them too. Five stars, I highly recommend it!

The Sparhawk rooms are right at the water's edge and you have wonderful unimpeded views of the Atlantic, Ogunquit Beach, Little Beach and the outlet of the Ogunquit River, with the mesmerizing tides. Plus the views are due east and the sunrises are amazing. However- though the rooms are clean and comfortable with a private patio or balcony, there are some misses for a higher end "resort" property. Our balcony door's deadbolt lock didn't work (which is a safety issue!), the bathroom sink's drain stopper was broken, the walls are rather thin so you easily hear your neighbors (and snorers), and we had ants in the bathroom. Plus it would be nice to have in-room amenities like a coffee-maker (coffee, tea, hot water are available in the lobby but only starting at 7AM, so early birds like us in need of a morning brew are out of luck) and mini-fridge (for keeping those leftovers or desserts fresh - instead, we had to wastefully throw them out). The complimentary Continental breakfast is welcome but the offerings are on the scant side - there should at least be cut fruit available and it would be nice to have hot fresh oatmeal instead of instant oatmeal packets. There are many other choices to stay in Ogunquit that offer such amenities and are more sound-proofed, though perhaps not with the amazing views that Sparhawk offers. But if The Sparhawk would like to be a top-notch stay, I think they need to up their game a little!

They were closed, but he noted the website, and we checked it out. Not long after they opened for the season, he went to talk to Melissa at the ticket booth, who told him all about it. We were in! I booked us on a sunset cruise for June 24. We kept watching the weather during the day, and there were showers and downpours even as we ate dinner at Sea Level Oyster Bar. Fortune favored us, however, as the skies cleared just before the 5:00 cruise returned. We boarded with about ten other people, and we set off from the dock right on schedule. The Captain and crew told us about the Fame of Salem and the boatyard where she was built. The views were amazing, and once we got away from the dock, the crew asked for volunteers to help hoist sails! Hubby and I each helped, and the feel of the wind in my hair, as we started to pick up speed was awesome! Another couple on board got engaged during the cannon fire ceremony. It was sooo cool to be a part of that moment with them. Drinks and snacks are available on board, and paying was easy (we used Venmo.) The sunset views were breathtaking. There were great views around the harbor of homes and other boats. We will definitely do this again and are looking into doing a private charter for the end of the season!

There was a nice breeze on the water on the day I went and we were able to use the sails for pretty much the entire cruise. Capt Mike is great, as is his crew although I forgot their names.

Been on a handful of cruises in the area, and this is the first one that fired a cannon, so that was a fun experience.
