Vacation, pictures and a review.

 

So, my weekend away last Saturday was awesome! I know, it’s taken me all week to write about it. I have been on vacation this week though, and honestly, I pretty much have not done anything. Cleaned a bit around the house and put some stuff away here and there, but really I  was not very creative or constructive. I figure, that’s what Fall is for. :)

 

Not too much that you can do anyways when the weather is so crappy around here.

We arrived at our little Motel - The Green Dolphin a few hours early. And I gotta tell you, each & every person that we met was awesome!

They had no problem with us parking at the motel even though we had arrived fairly early and they were eager to help us with any questions we had. We would have been able to put our things in our room, but the housekeeping woman was not done cleaning the room yet. Which was 100% fine with us, we were really not in any hurry this weekend!

So, we decided to take a look at the beach.

I am telling ya, when I got on the beach, (which by the way was about a three minute walk from where we were staying!) I just about died and gone to heaven!

When they say 7 miles of beach…they sure as hell were not kidding.

I have never been a traveler. I think I told you guys that before when I first talked about going away for a weekend. And quite honestly, the only beaches I ever went to were the local ones here. And they suck around here. All rocks and very little sand. The shores are so small and it must take all of ten minutes to walk the whole beach.

Old Orchard Beach is beautiful. It really is. I have found a new love. And it resides in the state of Maine. Seriously, I want to live here. I could live there and never ever look back at my past life here in Mass. I would gladly give up just about everything to live & work there, at the beach.

Here is a picture looking towards the North.

And here is towards the South. Amazing.

The South

When we got back from the Beach we were able to put our stuff in our room.

As soon as I walked into the room I knew I was going to love it there! The room was really clean and smelled fresh - with a faint hint of bleach. Everything looked neat as a pin and I was immediately comfortable in my surroundings. If you guys ever need a place to stay when you want to hit Old Orchard Beach, I highly suggest The Green Dolphin Motel. I know that V and I will be back there - that’s for sure!

The room was adorable and we actually got the jacuzzi room, which was nice because we both had never been in a jacuzzi.

Here are a few more pictures! Notice how the room itself is a good size!

Awesome jacuzzi!

Our room.

Stay tuned for vacation part 2 kids. This lady needs to get some shit done around here. And I also need to restart my computer as I had some updates to apply.

I will be back!

Catchy titles not included…

 

Nope, just don’t have a catchy title today. It’s been a long day. Very busy too. I have a headache that could kill a horse (see Twitter update. ) and I am tired cause I had to get up and go to work today! (I know, I know, bring on the violins.)

Where the hell is the Publishers Clearing House guy anyway? Shouldn’t he be bringing me my 1 million dollar check by now? I mean, I bought all the crap & put all those damn stickers where they should be - on the envelope and on the SECRET million dollar place… I must just keep missing him…

Remember how I was telling you last week about V and how we were trying to work it out and we were doing really well? Well, I am happy to report that all is going well - still!  As a matter of fact, we are going on our first overnight trip this Saturday!

And I am really getting totally psyched about it!  :woot:  

We have never gone away overnight before. This is a first for us. I am a tad nervous because quite honestly, I have never been out of "mom mode" since I was 19 years old.

Well, OK…I was outta mom mode for about a week in August last year… But that was not the same - I was still here. My daughter was away in Portugal.

Honestly though, I have not had a actual "vacation" my entire life. So this is a whole new thing for me!

And by "vacation" I mean getting time off from work and going somewhere! I take time off of work all the time in the summer but never once have I gone away.

We are going to "Old Orchard Beach" Maine. I was looking for places in Southern Maine, and when I saw the beach picture - I almost died. I never saw a beach that big. I am use to the nasty, little rocky ones that take ten minutes to walk…The picture here at the top left is an actual aerial view of the beach. It’s awesome! 7 miles of beach. Now that’s a kick ass beach to be walking on!

Sheesh, maybe I should move to Maine & run that beach every morning…Could lose tons of weight that way!

Did I tell ya how psyched I am? V has rented a room for us across from the beach and we were lucky enough to get the room we wanted that had the jacuzzi in it.

And…dare I say it…It could be romantic! There..I said it.  Romantic…

Me. Simple Mindz. The gal who gets totally excited about software, computers and cell phones. The lady who walks people through computers and fixing them better them most "tech support" people…. might just have a "romantic" side!

Imagine that.

I will be taking lots of pictures I hope. So be prepared peeps. Cause I will be posting them.

:)
