After enjoying a great night’s sleep in our comfortable room, it was once again time to embrace the day.  Since we were staying at the Hampton Inn we got to enjoy the delicious waffles that you can cook yourself.  Hunter loves waffles and they seem to help him get his day off to a good start.  Emily joined us for… Read more »

The best part about the Best Western in Keene is that we were able to park our car right behind our room with a sliding door, so loading the car was a breeze!  Before we set out for our next destination we headed down to the lobby for a nice breakfast, which it actually was.  It was weird actually seeing… Read more »

This morning we embarked on our final stretch of driving to the north.  We were heading to Kennebunkport, ME, a place that we have enjoyed since we went there together for the first time for Drew and Fran’s wedding back in 2004.  If you have not been, it is really a cool historic city with a ton of great food.  We were… Read more »
