New England Adventures

We headed off to Maine for the long holiday weekend and had the best time! The leaves are changing and it's beautiful up there. We stopped in Boston on our way up to see some friends then pushed onwards to Lobster headquarters! We visited Freeport and the LLBean Flagship store, which I might add was fantastic! We outfitted Riley and Morgan for the upcoming winter in snow gear and Daddy bought Mommy some new hiking boots. The next day we drove to Bridgton, ME, where Daddy went to prep school. Bridgton Academy was so neat and Mommy was so glad to finally see the place that holds so many fond memories for Daddy! We watched them win a football game (Riley spent the game running on the baseball field next door...playing in the dirt and running the bases). Mommy was excited to see Riley seem so at home on the diamond! One day she'll be hitting base hits and playing softball...exciting :)

On our way back we stayed the night in Portsmouth, NH, with our good friends who are stationed there. We took the kids to a Pumpkin patch and Apple orchard and picked apples. It was the prettiest day and a great way to end our long weekend. It's cold in New England now and we're enjoying the fall weather. Apple cider, pumpkin lattes and hot chocolate are in full force in our household...love it!
