This, that and everything else.

So, I have to say, this week is turning out to be a lovely week. My oldest two are in day camp this week and LOVING it. Such a change from last year when dropping them off resulted in a clingy tear-fest. This year, it's "CYA! BYE!" and not one look back. I'm glad. Danny has really evolved and come out of his shell. He's made a friend on day one and excited to go back and hang out with him. Kelsey has just been her usual self and play with whoever, no one particular kid. Evie can't wait until next year when she's old enough to go.

We took a day trip to Maine this past Saturday. Lot of traffic, but not as bad as it could've been. The place we went to wasn't crowded, and I think because it was overcast, a lot of people stayed away. Good for us! Bill's mom went with us, as usual. The beach we went to is opposite of Portsmouth, NH and the harbor, and we got to see a big ship being brought out to sea.



After the beach, we headed to our favorite spot for dinner. We planned on getting there about 4:30, to beat the dinner crowd. Works perfect that way. Kelsey wanted fried clams, she'd never had them before, so she got them. She ate two and said she didn't want anymore because they "taste strange". LOL! We all got a good laugh at that one.
Bill and I got called "cute" by our waitress. lol, I want to know how old she thought us to be! Bill was sitting across from me, and after our meal, we just automatically were resting our arms on the edge of the table and laced our hands together. Now, this is something we just do, always have, always will. Holding hands. Well, the waitress brought our check over and to clear some plates and she said, "You two are just so cute. It's nice to see people your age like that!" I commented on being together for 15 years and Bill commented on our 10 year anniversary coming up and she was just shocked and amazed and congratulated us and couldn't believe we've been together since high school... it was funny. She, herself, must have been in her mid-twenties at least. So, Bill and I are "cute" lol.
It was a nice mini-vacation. Just a day away...
