Tall Ships

So went to Newburyport the other day to check out the Bounty, a tall ship visiting the east coast.  It was pretty impressive.  Ropes, sails, cannons, intricate wood work every where.  Here is the description we read:

The HMS Bounty is one of the most famous ships in the world. Known for the storied mutiny that took place in Tahiti in 1789 on board the British transport vessel

We were so impressed we decided to spend the 10 bucks to get on the boat for a tour....YIPPIE, we were going to tour a real pirate ship!!!.......you know what we learned Bounty = Fraud.  On the tour we learned that the ship was built in 1960.  Out new house is older than the Bounty.  The ship is a replica, built for the Marlon Brando film, Muitny on the Bounty.  It also was in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. 



 We overcame our depression by hitting up the Gelato place afterwards.  It was hot, so the kids ended up drinking their ice cream. 

Nuestra Casa Nueva

So we took the plunge and bought a new house. Here is a picture of the upstairs and downstairs.  Check out the wide pine floors and stained glass window on the door.  

  

 It was like built it 1503, so it has a ton of character.  Stained glass windows, molding, old school mail slot, dirt floor basement..........Woo Woo!!!!  Here is the front of the house.

We are super exited to move in.  We close at the end of August, just it time for Tommy to start kindergarten in the new school system.  (one of the main drivers of the move)
