1022.7 Miles and Three McFlurry's Later...

And I live to blog about our New England Road Trip Adventure. To Maine and back! That's right, in just six looooonnnngggg days, I drove over a thousand miles, and gained like at least 1000 lbs! And after these kind of adventures, I feel like I could write a book about our travels, but I'll keep it to a few posts this week and today I'll just tease you with some of the highlights of our Thanksgiving 2010 trip.

Last Monday we hit the road and drove about three hours and spent the night in Connecticut. And by Connecticut, I mean Foxwoods. Which if you don't know, is a casino in the northeastern part of that state! We swam, hit an arcade (which 20 month olds are pretty much too young for), and hubby won some money in the "grown up arcade," while I lost a bit.

On Tuesday, we did the bulk of our driving (over 5 hours) from CT to Belfast, Maine. With a stop in Portland for lunch at the Olive Garden (a Baby To Go favorite), with a good friend of hubby's and his wife. That afternoon we arrived in Maine, where we spent three nights, and turkey day with my mother in law (although we spent the nights in a nearby hotel).

On Friday, in icy, sleety conditions, we set out for Boston, a drive which took longer than expected due to the weather, but we rolled up to Fanuiel Hall a little after 1 pm to meet up with more friends for a fabulous lunch at Hillstone. Our two sets of plans for the remainder of the day fell through, but we were all pretty spent by this point so we relaxed at our friend's apartment, ate take out from Anna's Taqueria and watched Elf on TV.

By Saturday it was time to head back to NYC, but first a stop at my brother-in-law's house and breakfast with hubby's two brothers, their wives and C's three cousins. Which was by far a highlight of the trip! Family, food and good times, I hope that is what your holiday was about as well! Oh and I did manage to have not one, not two, but THREE M&M McFlurries on this trip. Well, I did share them with hubby and C.
