Another vacation week and we are now up in Maine. That only took us 10 hours yesterday – mostly driving, but also a break in New Hampshire to buy groceries and alcohol (NH doesn’t have any sales tax!). Rich’s family owns an old inn here in the middle of nowhere in Maine and that’s where we are. Their ancestor built the house back in 17… something and while it is not used as an inn anymore, the family spends a lot of time here between late spring and fall. It is the perfect place esp. this year. Also the weather here is a little cooler and less humid than in the City. I kind of wish we could stay longer than a week (but Mr. Husband only gets one week of vacation at a time).

|Laughed| about the kids of Rich’s cousins – they were so excited to meet me, but shy at the same time
|Desired| less traffic on our drive from New York to Maine
|Bought| I hired our cat sitter again so that Canavar gets a little visit every day that we are not at home, groceries and alcohol
