Birthday

[judecorp]

My Jennifer and I were looking for somewhere within reasonable driving distance to spend the weekend before our birthday, and as is our usual, everything we were looking at is totally booked. We were originally going to try to go to Ptown for the night, but of course that weekend is the end of Women's Week so everyone requires a minimum stay which we just can't do. Then we looked at cute B&Bs in Northampton, but we couldn't find much available there, either. So with a lot of searching, we ended up finding a cute, woman-owned B&B in Ogunquit, Maine.

I don't know how much stuff there is to do in Ogunquit outside of beach season, and I imagine most of the vibrant foliage will be out of Maine by then, but even if we just get to spend two days doing nothing but puttering around out of the city, I'd call that a success. And because it's in Maine, we were able to afford two nights for the amount we would have spent on one in Ptown. Yay! Not exactly the huge excitement I'd like to have for my 30th birthday, but this has definitely been a year of muted pleasures and the unplanned.

At some point, we all need to get together and go to Boston Bowl or something for Jennifer's birthday. She has been dying to go big-ball bowling and we need to set something up! (Even though I like little-ball bowling so much better)

p.s. Patti - do you still want to have an October girls birthday get-together somewhere? I want to celebrate your birthday, too. And Brandie's. And Cari's.

From what I've been told Ogunquit is supposed to be a combination of Ptown and Old Orchard Beach. It'll be the tail end of the season, so stuff should still be open, but you won't be battling other tourists for everything. And if worse comes to worse, you can still stroll around on the beach. =)

I keep telling myself I'm going to run into Molly Ringwald's character from The Stand mini-series and we're going to fight Captain Trips.

Fun birthday, eh? ;)

But yeah, I'm sure there will be some cold weather beachwalking in my future. And I guess there's always OOB or Wells within driving distance.

Well if you start having dreams about a Walkin' Dude and an old woman and decide to migrate to Colorado, swing by and pick me up.

Yeah, I can't remember any other quotes from that movie.
