Happy Anniversary +5 days to Us!

Happy Second Anniversary to us! Well, a few days late but we were busy celebrating and all :) In keeping with our annual tradition of traveling to commemorate the date, we drove up to North Conway, New Hampshire for a little hiking and sightseeing. A little lower-key than last year's Alaska trip, but still a great getaway.

We stayed at a cute B&B called The Cabernet Inn that served the most amazing breakfasts (can we say honey walnut stuffed french toast?). The innkeepers pointed us towards a couple of interesting hikes, and all these pics are from one of them called Arethusa Falls. I managed not to get eaten alive by bugs after a healthy dose of Off. That's one thing about moving back East that I'm not looking forward to--bug season. I wonder why there aren't really any mosquitos in California? That alone might be reason enough to get me to move back West!


We also drove up the Mount Washington Auto Road, which I did as a kid with my parents but I don't remember at all. Kind of funny to go back with my husband :) The highest recorded wind speed in the world was recorded at the summit of the mountain years ago--231mph!

The only other major activity of the weekend was a little outlet shopping, haha! Oh, and we had some surprisingly delicious meals too. One place called Delaney's Hole in the Wall (which wasn't a hole in the wall at all) had a seafood linguine alfredo--the giant scallops, lobster pieces, and shrimp were amazing. Ah, East coast seafood...OK, maybe we'll stay here a little longer ;)

Psst...Willy! Replace the Off! with sugar water, and maybe that'll be enough to drive Karen back out west!

Cute, Gil. Nice to know that you're willing to subject me to pain and abject itchy suffering in order to get me to move back ;). I miss you too though!

Yeah, if she found out, I'd be a dead man. I guess mosquitoes would be the least of my worries.
