our weekend

We had a great Weekend. Friday night we took off to Ct and decided to go and visit an old friend. We popped into Lynn Gabbert Labrie's for a surprise visit. We were the one's surprised b/c the only person that was home was Justine and her son Ethen. She invited us in to wait and graciously cooked us an awesome chirouco and pepper dinner. Around ten thirty at night Lynn, Walt and DJ came in. They had taken off to Foxboro Mass, to pick up a tent for their family camp out to Palmyra, NY. If you are Mormon, you know what's in Palmyra around this time each year. My mind is so blank and I can't think.. Maybe b/c it's one thirty in the morning and I'm starting to get tired. Sorry... Anyway, we visited with Lynn till around 11 and let them go to bed.
We headed back toward Groton to get a hotel for the night. Our whole reason for heading there. To escape for the night and be alone. We hadn't had an alone time by ourselves in two years. We were heading for the Econo Lodge in Groton. But they only had a room for smoking for $89.He said he would drop it to $79. I was like ummm, no is there another Econo Lodge around here. There was one in Mystic. So I had the clerk call Mystic, to see if there were an empty "NON" smoking room. Not only was there one, but he said he would give us a deal of their price ten percent off. Which brought it down to $76. So we won out an both parts. So we took off for Mystic. The cool part was it was right across the road from the entrance to Mystic Aquarium. Mike said if we had brought kyla, we could have brought her there. But as I reminded him, This was our weekend, not anyone else's. I'm not usually selfish. But We deserved it!
Mike was getting hungry again, so we went on an adventure in finding a place that was open to eat at. After riding around another forty mins. We determined that the only place was McD's. I got some chicken nuggets and a McFlurry.. And Mike got two Big Macs. Big mistake. he has been sick from it, ever since. Poor guy...
He spent the entire night off and on in the bathroom. He probably only had gotten like two to three hours sleep the entire night. So needless to say, we slept right through our free Continental breakfast. (that was 7-10) we didn't get up until ten fifteen. Check out was at eleven. We flew into the shower and flew around the room getting ourselves ready to get out on time. We made it with five mins. to spare. Depressing though, as you see from the picture of that tub, it was HUGE... I wanted to badly to crawl in that tub and soak and soak and soak. But being that we checked in so late and then searched everywhere for food and then by the time we got back, I just stripped and jumped into bed and past out. And then waking so late, no way, could I. Oh well, I dreamed of it. lol (why I say huge, is b/c we have what we call a half tub. It has the same width but only half the legnth. It was built for a midget I swear it was)
The other pictures we what we did all day Saturday. We decided to make it a Harley shop adventure day. We started in Groton at Mike's Famous Harley dealer. Which of course I never got a picture of it. So now we need to go back.. lol We did get Tshirts for our collection. Mike got the blue one with the Submarine on the back and I got the orange tank..
Then we headed for Columbia TSI Harley. And we had missed it. It had closed at three. We missed it by 30 mins. I wonder if we didn't stop for Dairy Queen, if we would of made it.. Besides the idea we kept missing how to get to it. So we called TSI in Ellington and learned that it closed at five. So we had just enough time to make a forty min. trip up. We got the directions and stop halfway for gas. And made it in just enough time for twenty mins of shopping. We grabbed Tshirts from there. The red tye dye T is mine. Mike got the cream colored one. It has a cool 1903 bike on it with a side car. Really cool.
The pic of the stone picture of the Harley is the Ellington TSI. That's the sign that doesn't have the town on it. Where the Columbia one did. Go figure, same owner.
Anway, after then, we took the long way home and traveled all the back roads we could toward Exeter, RI. We decided to end our great time together at our favorite restraunt, Middle of NoWhere. Which did end our fantastic time. Afterward, we came home crawled in bed and relaxed until we both fell asleep.
Needless to say, Mike still has the upsetness in his belly. I had to go to CVS and buy him more Immodium AD. I was so sore and my back was killing me, that we decided to just stay in the bed and sleep our morning away. So we didn't make it to church. Oh well. It was worth it.
But to top of a great day, Melissa got up this morning and made her dad and Bruce pancakes, for Dad's day. And she was awesome enough to make some for everyone. She even saved a few for me, when I finally crawled out of bed at one PM. LOL. and then at two thirty Jw called Mike and wished him a Happy Father's day. How sweet and no one told him to. he was riding his bike alone. How cool!
So our great weekend finally had to come to an end. And now, Monday must come and Mike must go back to work again. My poor baby. I just hope his belly is better.
