My family and I will be visiting the North Shore (staying in Danvers) the last week of August. Any advice for places to eat, things to do? Any fellow Bruins interested in meeting up?

We have been considering a move to the area since a trip we took in 2007. I have a lot of roots in the area and was amazed to see how many of the old homes of the area are still occupied.

Also, how is the drive up to New Hampshire or Maine from there?
