Our first Vacation

Chad and I have been together almost two years and just this past weekend took our first vacation together. This is NOT an "Igotpaidtoreviewthisplace" post, but we stayed at a lovely place called the Mt. Coolidge Motel. We checked in after a day of outlet shopping in Maine and the owner, Kevin, was extremely friendly and suggested a place to eat dinner once we were settled. Our room was quaint and comfortable, and talk about clean! The view from the room overlooked a gorgeous little river- what a perfect way to fall asleep every night, listening to the moving water.

Woodwards was fabulous, and we had a two for $twenty-two deal on our meals. Our waitress was wonderful and checked in with us just the right number of times, and our Robert Mondavi Cabernet arrived quickly. (We were happy about that!)

After dinner we went out back where there was a trout pond and fed the trout and the ducks- I was SO excited- it was really, really cool!

We went back to our room and relaxed Friday night with movies, Red Sox, and eachother's conversation.

Saturday morning we woke up and went next door to the Mt. Coolidge. Our breakfast server was lovely and so friendly- she suggested a hike to see the Georgian Waterfalls, which we immediately did after getting our sneakers!

Afterwards we decided to catch the Brewery Tour at Woodstock Pub- long story short, we tasted every beer, finally asked for a full glass of their Oatmeal Stout, bought two Growlers of Pig's Ear Ale & their Rasberry Wheat, and met a great couple and sat talking and drinking with for five hours! They were so sweet, we ended up going to their place for dinner a little later on and hope to keep in touch :)

Chad went swimming in the mid afternoon and we tossed a beach ball around- we're such little kids :) Chad also went fishing behind our motel room and caught at 10" Brook Trout!

Sunday morning we left early after packing our things. It's good to be home, but we had such a blast on our vacation that we both decided that if we have some extra cash we'll be heading up there again sooner than later just to get away for a little while.

I took Chad for his birthday steak and then we went to the Pet store to buy Delilah some food- I found the most gorgeous beta I'd ever seen...and Chad insisted that I had to have him. He has no name yet, but I think he is gorgeous!
