Restful Weekend

We had an absolutely perfect weekend away. On Friday night we had an easy drive with no traffic and we were there before 6PM! We checked in and then went for dinner at a great mexican restaurant. We were even treated to some live music while there. We headed back to the inn, enjoyed time in the hot tub and called it a day.

On Saturday, we started the morning with champagne and cranberry juice before breakfast. After a wonderful breakfast of quiche, we went to do some shopping. We headed into Ve.rmont and visited the D0g Cha.pel. We have a piece of art from there that some friends gave us for our Civil Union and we wanted to get another one. The art is all about dogs and is just fantastic!

Then we headed to a scrapbooking store (of course) and to visit the world's longest candy counter and had lunch at a little diner. We spent the afternoon and evening playing cribbage, in the hot tub, watching movies, and reading by the fireplace. It was a perfect day!

Today we moseyed our way back and did some more shopping on the way home. Picked up the dogs and are tuned in to the Sup.er B0w.l. This is the second year in a row that I have headed into this game in second place in the pool at work. I went with the S.aints because that is how I can win the pool. We'll see if that works out or not!

Here are a few pics from the weekend - I've saved more for a wordless Wednesday post this week.

On Friday, I emailed Grace, the innkeeper and asked her if she would order some fresh flowers and champagne to be in the room for a nice surprise when we got there.   Of course, she pulled it all together even last minute!




Thre is nothing like a perfectly restful weekend.

Only 2 weeks until February Vacation!

In TTC news, I go for bloodwork again on Wed.

If you are interested, I updated the photo blog today.

She's Here!!!

Well, finally, after a 50 day vacation, AF arrived today!  We are back on the TTC bandwagon!  This month enters the beginning of year 4 of our journey.  This will be try #13 - not counting canceled cycles, etc.  We only count tries if we actually do an IUI.  So, fingers crossed, toes crossed, baby dust sprinkled, and all of that.  Looks like IUI should be around Feb 15 or 16.

Tomorrow I get to take  the kids at my Friday school to the B0ston Mus.eum of Sc.ience.  I am excited, and so are they.  It will be a great day!

We are thinking about a fun trip to The Highlan.ds next weekend just for a little getaway.  Is is a great  little les.bian bed and breakfast here in northern NH.  It's also where the picture of the rainbow chairs in our header was taken.  We are going to wait until Wed to officially book because they offer a 20% discount if you book last minute.  We'll take our chances that there will still be rooms available.  If not, we'll pick a different weekend!

Blood work in the morning and meds start  tomorrow night.  Baseline scan is waiting until Mon because I am gone on the trip all day tomorrow. 

Here we go again - could it be possible for 2010 to be our year?

Oh, yeah - I also updated the photo blog - check it out!

The Story of the Chairs...


OK, so here is the story behind the chairs in our header picture. That is a picture I took along with a bunch of others when we were visiting one of our favorite places - The Highlands. This is a wonderful gem of a place in northern New Hampshire. It is a women's (read: lesbian) resort and just a wonderful getaway. We went there for the weekend of our Civil Union and have been back a couple of other times as well. The Highlands sits on a beautiful piece of property with trails for walking and snowshoeing. There is a main building with two other buildings. An awesome breakfast is served every morning too! Grace, the inkeeper goes out of her way to make your stay exceptional.


So, if you are ever visiting this neck of the woods and want to stay at a wonderful place, check it out - Grace would be happy to have you! http://www.highlandsinn-nh.com

Here are a couple of other pictures - one of the inn and one of us on the hillside right before our Civil Union.
