ChezGrey’s “North Shore” Picks
Marblehead, Mass
This little historic town from the 1700’s is an quaint gem! Only 30 minutes from ChezGrey, and the route bypasses major roads and most traffic.

Salem, Mass
The home of everything witchy. This Boston bedroom community comes alive in the summer and fall with people who are spellbound. Experiences range from the occult to the kitsch. Spoiler Alert: It looks nothing like the movie "Hocus Pocus"
Longboards Restaurant & Bar
76 Wharf StFun, waterfront pub with great food.

Ogunquit, Maine
Pronounced "Oh-Gun-Quit"
Our favorite day trip to Maine is just an hour and half drive to a town with lots of little shops, good food, a walking path along the cliff rocks, - and a gorgeous beach.
This hotel/resort is a destination in itself, and has a great day spa. There is an amazing but pricey restaurant hangin out over the cliffs, and a great sandwich, fish shack by the pool. We stop in for a pedicure and lunch when we are feeling very grown up.
