I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. I forgot how nice it is to have a three day weekend and do no work. I haven't had one in a while. I end up working on most of the "smaller" national holidays because even if one client happens to be taking that day off, another one is working - so I end up working.

Anyhoo, the gf and I went to Rockport, MA this past Saturday and had a great time as usual (we discovered the place last summer). It was our second trip and we had just as good a time as the first. We kayaked in the ocean, had some great seafood, walked around the little touristy shops - overall a great day.

The highlight was definitely the lobster. We go to a place called Roy Moore Lobster. It's hard to describe - it's not really a restaurant, it's more of a wholesale place that has about 6-8 tiny tables (last year they were wooden crates, but i guess this year they upgraded) out back on their deck. They'll cook a lobster for you and you can eat out back. Prices are up from last year, but still a pretty good deal. A 1.33lb lobster was $15. Larger lobsters were $10.99 a lb. They also have stuffed clams, fishcakes, clam chowder, smoked salmon, smoked mackerel, shrimp cocktail - all for a pretty reasonable price.

I think I gained about 4 lbs over this weekend. Ugh - back on the diet and back on the treadmill.
