Easter Roadtrip

Hi Blog......Not sure what else to call the past four days. Lately I've been feeling the need to have some alone time with my husband...no other commitments....so we packed up and left the country on Thursday. Perhaps a bit extreme...but no phones, drop ins,or again, commitments. Part of me really didn't want to leave over Easter....but there is another part of me that wanted to get away from egg hunts, candy and the bunny. ( not that I have kids at home) I think of all of the holidays the Easter Bunny bothers me the most. I know that I did it for my kids, but the more that I appreciate the true meaning of this day...the more I shake my head to bunnies and gift stuff. What really does the Bunny have to do with it all.

So much for my Easter rants....going away however took me from the spiritual side of Easter....missed the Temple and the church service....BUT I went and it was a good time with my husband. We needed it!!
We drove to Bangor, then on to Merrimack New Hampshire. Bill is a great shopper and loves the shopping adventure. He treated me to some Mardens ( a fabric favorite), then we hit some fun outlets in New Hampshire. We enjoyed some Five Guys, and the Outback Steak house. We did the traditional stop at LL Beans, and I found some great deals !! We tried a new eating place in Freeport called Johnnie Rockets, and it was delicious, and entertaining. We got a new supply of gluten free foods....and headed home on Sunday.
Always good to be home!!!

I took a few corny photos.....and they're a bit mixed up
