our trip

The trip to new england was fabulous and i am so glad we got to go back.  This time there were 6 of us that went.  We stayed 2 days in each of the 4 states we went to.  The trip started in nigara falls, ny.  It was so beautiful and there were so many rainbows.  The power of that water constantly going just blows my mind!  And the loud roar is just like the ocean as it drowns out everything else in your head.  I saw my first black squirrel there.  We ate at a hard rock cafe and celebrated of one of the 2 birthdays and that was a treat.  I think this was where we took our first ferry ride and it was so cool!  Our next stop was stowe, vt and we stayed at the green mountain inn - there was waitress that was so kind to us each morning  - her dad won the lt governor's race - how about that!  I love this area so much!!!!  The fellas did their thing while us girls shopped till we dropped!  Mind you we had to be careful what fit in the van on the way home so we had to show some restraint...  and had some things shipped! Before we left this area we stopped to see the von trapp family lodge - what a neat surprise!  and also at some point (can't remember when) - yankee candle store - woo hoo!!  Our next stop was mystic,ct - and stayed at the whaler's inn.  Oh the water, boats and the sights... and i got to see the restaurant where the movie  'mystic pizza' was made - that was my time period you know so that was a must see.  We shopped again and ate and ate at a lebanese restaurant that night - at this place you bring your own alcohol - fun because there was a liquor store across the street!   Our last stop was cape may, nj and the place we stayed at had a neat restaurant named the mad batter where we had breakfast and supper each night.  The homes there are beautiful, the ocean so relaxing and of course we shopped some more!  My husband's birthday was celebrated on the last night of our trip - the eve of his birthday and we all enjoyed dinner, drinks and fun and we all ended the night sitting in the lounge by the fire.  We rode a huge ferry when we left nj and that took an hour but it was so neat and ended up and drove the  chesapeake bay bridge tunnel - 17.6 miles total  and on it were 2 underwater tunnels- wow. That was the end and we had to head home. We all arrived home safe and sound full of goodies and lots of memories!!  I know i left out a lot but we just did so much it's hard to remember it all.  Ahhhh  vacations....  i highly recommended them :)
