Alright! I am back once more! A lot has been going on since my last post!

So here we go!...

I survived the meeting again of the boyfriend's mother by seeing her but not much and leaving early to visit a somewhat near by relative.

Then our friend (Mr.'s and myself) from Portland came to visit just a few days after we had gotten home. He had never been to the east before so off we went to show him around....

1st stop Gettysburg on the way to DC.

Day 2: Capital building, Botanical gardens, Air and Space museum, the mall, Washington monument, Korean monument, Lincoln monument, WWII monument, Vietnam monument and finally the White house where we say the President's Scotti dog playing outside.

Day 3: The DC Zoo, Natural history museum, Jefferson monument, FDR and after our friend broke my drivers side mirror off the car on a ticket booth, a nice finish in downtown Frederick.

Day 4: I fixed the mirror with epoxy, drove up to the 1000 Islands area with a quick stop to water the plants at home (it was literally right on the way), and a stop for dinner at Dinosaur BBQ...soooooooooooooo good!

Day 5: A nice swim and off to Ottawa for some poutine (sooooo good!) and a good long rain shower!

Day 6: Swam in the lake and drove to a nice wild life preserve in Quebec.

Day 7: Then off to Montreal in the morning, had a good evening in old Montreal, a night in a hotel was nice

Day 8: Montreal in the morning (something about that town always gets my spirits up!) and on to Vermont

Day 9: Loved Vermont and decided to stay and tour some cheese farms and Ben & Jerry's (the Jelly Belly tour outside SF is much better). Had some GREAT cheese and got to pet baby sheep and cows.

Day 10: Off to Cape Cod and Province town! Good times in the tide and night life

Day 11: More beach and Province town crazy goodness

Day12: Caught the sun rise on the Atlantic and then headed off to home for a good night sleep!

Day 13: Back to the airport an hour and 15 minutes away at the crack of dawn to drop off our friend, breakfast with the folks and a hamster exchange (they watched Ebichu for me) all done before 7am! Then back home, a nap and Batman!

That was a great trip!
Hey I even lost a lb while doing it! There was so much walking and great eating but not much! Score for me! I even started jogging again right after we got home! It is all coming together!

More soon!
