On Monday Jamie and I took a little day trip into Maine! We didn't go very far (and we didn't even get lobster, poo!) but we still had a fun day. =) We got some authentic New England "Chowdah." I totally regret not getting a lobster roll... New England chowder is not the same in San Francisco. ;) Then we found a completely abandoned beach town... seasonal tourism is not in the West Coast vocabulary. =P

| Very eerie... New England is full of ghosts, methinks. |

| We got some beautiful photos! I think the Atlantic is actually bluer than the Pacific... |
We've been watching LOTS of Netflix... "How I Met Your Mother" and "American Horror Story" are the two series we're in the middle of... American Horror Story had a great start, but as Jamie puts it, it has become "Days of Our Afterlives" haha. How I Met Your Mother is pretty hilarious... we've adopted the game "Zitchdog" for our car rides. We are currently at 14-4 (Jamie's lead, no surprise, but the game is FAR from over, mwahah!)
Yesterday I FINALLY broke the slump and spit out four awesome Christmas cards, and today I finished them up at Brewbakers in Keene! =) Tonight: Netflix & pancakes for dinner. Tomorrow: more art!
I'm a bit stressed because we haven't figured out yet what we're going to be doing the next few weeks until we can take my brother home. But it'll work out... hopefully. =P

Ha ha, those pictures reminded me of the movie "Dan in Real Life"...remember he takes his daughter and neice/nephew to a pier to see the sights and everything was shut down (even the bowling alley) and they went to look at an old lighthouse instead? :)
ReplyDeleteYea, your plan is to leave this coming weekend, right? Any possibility you can stay longer if you need to? You might be super bored but maybe better than spending money at hotels or sleeping in your car in the wintertime? What were your original plans for these 19 days until you pick up Ryan in CO? Any chance you can stop by and see some of Jamie's relatives early?? We miss you and cant' wait to have you guys home for the holidays!! It's DUMPING rain this entire next 5 days...they are calling for (get this) 8-10 INCHES of rain in Paradise!!! Its a real gully-washer (As Kris Kuyper would say):)
I have another 3 day weekend coming up. Or if you want to get involved with the NJ relief, that's close by. Just some thoughts!
ReplyDeleteAlways full of ideas but limited on time,
