Our May weekend adventure

So Greg had Friday and Saturday off last week and since he'll be starting his new job this week we decided to make a weekend of it. I requested Friday off and don't work weekends so that was easy enough to accomplish. We live in beautiful New England and love to go on long scenic drives. I happen to be horrible with finding locations so he took me the next state over to show me how to get to his new job in case I ever had to get out there. We ended up journeying through Massachusetts and a little into to Vermont. Mainly Massachusetts though. If you have ever been up this way and been to the Berkshires than you know how pretty it is out that way.

Travelling through we decided to go find the Hoosic Tunnel. I'm not sure if we mentioned it but we're kind of ghost enthusiasts. Well we really like haunting's so we are the kind of creepy couple that look up cemeteries and haunted locations and head out to them to see what it's like for ourselves.

Me getting creeped out

The deserted steep road.

 Well on a back road into the land of darkness we hit a steep grade in the road that caused us to need a cool down for the brakes. This road was pitch black and apparently not many people drive that road. In total 5 people passed by and the only one who stopped was the first person to drive by who was willing to help out if we needed it. Thank you guy in the huge red truck. Currently we live in Connecticut but I want to move to Vermont so badly it seems like I'm going to burst at times. I absolutely loath living in Connecticut. Don't get me wrong it's really pretty out here too but a lot of the people can be so snide and just down right mean. Besides I work a minimum wage job in a very expensive state.

Six Flags was scary too

I just wanted to give you a sight into what we saw. And for a terrifying addition we hit a few tag sales this weekend too and caught a glimpse of something that should be shared. One pic is from the six flags horror show on mother's day and the other ones are from our tag sale terror.

Booty shorts & no bra. Why?

She was way too old for that

Brenda and I's first vacation together.

The cabin we rented

   Brenda and I went on our first vacation together to the great state of New Hampshire.  We got up nice and early on Friday morning and left for the White Mountains.  The drive there was beautiful.  The sky was a bright blue with just the slightest touch of clouds.  I drove up to a little cabin we rented for the weekend in a little town called Twin Mountains. 
   The mountains were right in our front yard, so when we went to bed that night after a long drive we watched the sun go down over the top of Mount Washington.  The scene was absolutely breathtaking as we sat outside while we both drank a beer and I smoked a few cigarettes we enjoyed a pizza together.

The summit of Mount Washington looking down.  

   Around 8 the next morning we woke up to the chirping of birds and the rustling of trees.  We drove up Mount Washington.  The drive was beautiful but very nerve racking.  The road up the side of the mountain is barely wide enough for one car let alone two.  There are no guard rails and the sides are very steep but the views were so exhilarating.  Both Brenda and I agreed that we would both definitely do it again.
   We also drove around through the mountains into some of the small towns and saw what life was like in these pretty little hamlets.  The town of Conway is on the eastern boarder of New Hampshire and Maine and is so quaint.  We went in and out of a few of the local shops looking at where I found a nice knife and where Brenda bought me a beautiful sword.
   That night we went back to the cabin fairly early and Brenda and I cooked an amazing dinner consisting of steak, potatoes, and fried plantanos. We retired to bed early but before we went to sleep I stepped out for a cigarette and as I was smoking I heard rustling next to me.  As I turned to look I saw a big bear walking next to the cabin.  I've never run so quick in my life. 
   The last day as we went home it began to rain.  We stopped at a park called "The Basin".  We trudged through the rain and saw what looked like a big toilet in the ground.  It was a massive whirlpool in the rock.  After we left there we drove home and went back to reality.  It rained the entire drive home but it really gave Brenda and I time to talk and get to be with each other. I loved this vacation.  I love Brenda so much, and now we're getting married.
