Our anniversary weekend

Three years ago this weekend, I married my best friend.  Technically, our anniversary is the 11th of October but since we got married over Columbus Day Weekend, we tend to consider that our anniversary.  We decided this year, we would celebrate it for 2 weekends.  We just got back from Portland, ME, where we visited my brother and his girlfriend.  My mom came with us and we spent yesterday at the Fryeburg Fair.  Actually, we spent most of yesterday going to the Fryeburg Fair, but we had fun nonetheless.  I guess ridiculous traffic is to be expected when it is the second to last day of the fair on an 80 degree day in October.  We ordered Indian food for dinner and then headed out to a bar down the street with another friend who lives up there while my mom stayed in with Max.  It was a late night and then an early morning today but well worth it.  We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to make it up that way again.

This coming weekend, we have rented a condo in North Conway, NH for 3 nights.  We are going with our good friends and their son, who is just 3 months older than Max.  I am so excited to go!  We have been wanting to do this for a few years now.  It all started when we got back from our honeymoon and I admitted to Damien that I kind of wished we had just rented a place in the White Mountains for a week instead of heading to the Dominican Republic.  He agreed.  We just are not resort/beach kind of people.  I would so much rather pack up the car and go on a road trip and explore and hike and well,  you get the point. So now, we are going on the honeymoon that we should have taken 3 years ago, but this time we get to take Max.  It will be worth the wait.
