After a delayed start (our car broke down, luckily only 20 minutes away from home), we finally made it to the east coast's northern most state. We stayed at a lovely mountain side condo complete with a fireplace and a back deck overlooking the ski trails. Everyone skied on Friday. It was a perfect sunny day with blue skies, packed snow, and the wonderful crisp pine smell in the air. Brian did such a great job skiing! I was so impressed by his perseverance, he kept on falling but kept on getting up with even more determination to keep going. I pretty much picked up where I left off in the skiing skills department although I forgot how uncomfortable ski boots are. We had a few beers in the lodge afterwards and were thoroughly impressed by the awesomeness of the classic rock cover band. The singer looked like Jerry Garcia and played some unbelievable guitar. They didn't play any common or popular songs, just more random and obscure ones. Brian and I had a great time singing along. Saturday was spent lounging around and coloring in my new coloring book. We only left the condo for a few hours to take a trip to the tiny downtown area of Bethel. We pursued some gift shops including an awesome old book store and a mom and pop Maine souvenir shop where I purchased two handmade wooden tops for $1. I also bought some really adorable knit finger puppets from an alpaca products store (we were going to go to the farm but it was closed.) We snacked a lot but ate delicious dinners that we had prepared ahead of time. I brought some delicious veggie chili with ground turkey and DJ made some roasted veggie lasagna that was superb. It was a wonderful weekend and so fun to spend time in a new place with friends. Next up: Florida in April (which can't come soon enough!)
