back east

My last day on vacation. Truly a sad thing. I could easily get used to sleeping in until 10am every morning and doing whatever I wanted for the day. Our trip back East was fabulous. The wedding was picture perfect and so was meeting Adam's family. We had so much fun. I'd like to thank the makers of Dramamine, no parent should ever travel without this wondrous medication.  For most our travels via plane, train, subway and car Brenner did great. He rarely complained but did ask "Are we there yet?" about a million times. He's our traveling champ. I did come home with a nasty cold and cough, most likely from the yummy circulated air on the plan. We were planning on making the trip to Trinity Lake for a few days with friends, but I couldn't travel one more mile feeling the way I did. Adam was such a sweetie and surprised me with a basket of goodies for my cold.

Friday we decided to car shop for Adam. He was born to drive an Audi A4 Quattro turbo, standard, Dolphin Grey exterior with light grey leather interior. It's a sweet ride and so much fun to drive. Yes, he let me in the driver's seat...but only once thus far. Jen picked me up at the dealership to meet her Aunt and friends for drinks at The Blacksmiths for Happy Hour. After hours of eating, drinking and laughing we drove to 7th Street where Adam and Lauren joined us for a few beers. Before heading to Kayo's to continue our girls' night, Adam took us for a little joy ride. Great fun.

Saturday was date night for Adam and I. We watched "Click", had dinner reservations at Pine Tavern and strolled down to Drake Park to complete our evening. We plan to have date night on a weekly basis.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our trip to Maine, New Hampshire and Mass.
