So long, summer

We just spent a great night at the Lowell Spinners:

Our Spinners lost, but we had a lovely time.  We were *supposed* to have gone to the Kerouac Bobble Head night a while back, but that game got rained out.  So we snatched up raincheck tickets to this one.  It was a really nice, breezy evening, with an earlier start time (6:05) than most evening games (7:05).  Perfect for us.  Lucy started out super-fan full on:

But was pretty tired by the end:

AND we still had to cycle home after all this!  Yes, we rode the tandem-with-tagalong.  It was awesome.

Earlier this weekend, we had some fun in Salem, visiting A&J King Bakery and Peabody Essex Museum.

We also walked around Salem a bit and Lucy enjoyed this fountain:

It's across from East India Marine Hall, and it's pretty neat.  The top layer of cobblestones (where Lucy's walking) are a rough representation of the coastline of Salem in pre-Colonial times, and the lower level (beneath the water) shows the current coastline.  You can see the how the land has changed over time, mostly due to filling projects over many, many years.

Here's Lucy, leaping:

Here's to a great September!
