| The Farkle Family reunited again (inside joke). |
Our journey north began Friday night with a tedious trip to Natick.
The next morning we continued to Maine through a steady rain, eventually reaching The Cottage in time for daddy's favorite meal at Ken's. Later in the afternoon Karen, Glenn and the hounds joined us, and the festivities began.
"Festivities" mostly consisted of us staring at each other on a bleak and rainy day.
On Sunday the weather cleared up enough for the kids to venture out on their bikes. After a stroll on the beach we headed to Palace Playland to pick up the girls' first-ever all season passes. And then we turned them loose on the rides for a while.
Later we went to see the movie "Epic" and then had dinner at "Wilbur's" (aka Famous Dave's).
Monday was gorgeous and we spent the morning on the beach in bathing suits just as if it were August. Lunch at Surf 6 was followed by more rides at Palace Playland and then dinner at Ken's with Cousin Janet.
On Tuesday morning we packed up our belonging and started on our 8 hour trek back to Brooklyn. (We really need to buy a helicopter.)
All in all it was a wicked awesome weekend! We pretty much packed an entire month's worth of activities into a few days, and whet our appetite for our real Maine adventure in August.
T-minus 50 days and counting!
