Over the Weekend: North
Sorry for the Instagram overload, I know I mentioned that my camera was broken recently, but at the end of last week, I managed to make things worse and am now only able to take photos if another person helps me by holding the lens on. Yeah, stinks. Anyways, I thought I would share some pics from our weekend adventures. Chris and I travelled up north on Friday afternoon to see family and relax. That afternoon, my mom said goodbye to the last of her golden pups, Penny went to her home in Vermont, isn't she cute? We spent the evening at the Fryeburg Fair, eating lots and lots of food and looking at the animals. We got to watch my brother in action too- slinging pizza for a local vendor.
On Saturday, Chris and I both got our hair done: he at the barbershop and I at the salon. It has been since April 2010 since I last had my color done and I was SO happy to say goodbye to my "ombre" hair (really just code for "I can't afford to get my hair done"), even if it did take four hours! I have a lot of hair I guess.
On Sunday we had brunch with my dad, and "dinner" (at 2 o'clock in the afternoon) with Chris's grandparents. Needing to walk off some of that italian cooking, we took a quick hike to the Tamworth Fire Tower, which looks out on to part of the White Mountains. After a quick stop to see our friend Jamie (and do some impulse shopping) at the Tamworth Lyceum, we headed back to my mom's.
Fall in Maine and New Hampshire is my most favorite time of year, and it's the time of year I miss home the most. Nothing beats a crisp, sunny day spent walking along a dirt road, or hiking to the top of a mountain. We're headed back north again this weekend and I can't wait!
