I'm not sure how we ended up with the mini van. They supposedly had extra's and it was an 'upgrade.' Strange as it had Florida licence plates. The four of us (Dasha came as well) hit the road Saturday morning and made a beeline for Centre Harbor in New Hampshire. We had the obligatory Macca's stop and several pee stops for princess but we made it up there early afternoon.
The trip is about 350 miles one way. Not sure what that converts to in normal scales but it's about seven hours driving. Tracy had booked us in this really cool little cottage in the lakes area. It was in a town called Holdeness and it was near Squam Lake. This area is dominated by lots of lakes. These are not your everyday round ones but they are a series of coves and winding bends which makes for an interesting and very scenic area.
We had a delicious dinner on the lake and prepared ourselves for the main attraction the following morning. After a solid diner breakfast we headed to Keepsake. I've done a few quilting shops in my time (thanks to Di) but this one was by far the biggest. What's more I was attending with Keepsakes "#1 customer". I managed to survive about 15 minutes and then was on dog duties. Tracy and Di managed to spend about 3 hours and would have probably been there longer had the police not been called to get them out. Ok the last bit was maybe an exaggeration. Many purchases were made and then it was back in the mini van and just a lazy 350 mile drive back to New York.
All in all lots of fun had by everyone.
We should have stayed here. |
Opps it's always hard to take a picture when you have a doggie bag with you. |
