Return from the birthday weekend of much rain

[judecorp]

We got back from our birthday weekend in Ogunquit a couple of hours ago. Honestly, we could have stayed home and had almost the same effect. We couldn't do much of anything outdoors with the ridiculous rain, and spent a whole lot of time in our room at the B&B. Speaking of, the B&B was less than stellar (no housekeeping service during our stay, okay breakfast, found out our women-owned-women-run B&B was being leased by two guys, hot tub didn't work, couldn't control the heat in the room) on top of everything else. Oh well, chalk it up to a learning experience, I suppose.

We made the best of our Friday night, Saturday was a waterlogged trip to Freeport to take over LL Bean, and today we took a gusty (but non-rainy) long walk down the Marginal Way to Perkins Cove and back up to downtown O. The ride home was gusty but easy, and I'm definitely more tired than I was before we left thanks to a rock-hard bed and a call from Jen's job at 6am on Saturday. Still, I'm glad we went. It's nice to have an entire weekend with my best girl ever.

So I didn't have the big bang of a party that I probably should have for my 30th (I suppose I still have time since my birthday isn't until tomorrow, but seeing as I'm working all day and then babysitting all night...), but still, this is going to be my biggest year yet. By the time I turn 31 I expect to be both a homeowner and a parent. Mark my words.

p.s. Happiest of Birthdays to one of my favorite Libras, thatpatti!

Happy Birfdaze, even if it sounds like your trip was about like our Honeymoon v.1 trip. We really debated whether to go since we could as easily stay home and watch TV as go there and watch TV. But I know I can't make myself relax and really veg at home for long. At least we had a really nice hotel to kick around in. A bad room is just awful! Better luck next time, seriously. Do a write up on an online review site so other people know. *hugs*

PS - get your butt over here for some fall food. You deserve the break.

Mmm, I do enjoy some fall food. I /do/ want to come hang out with you guys! I know I say it all the time but I totally mean it. I'm just a crazy person when it comes to commitments, and I really need to work on that.

You're right, though - if we'd stayed home instead I probably would have spent most of the weekend cleaning the house and running errands instead of relaxing. So it wasn't a total wash.
