*fade to black* 
- (Work through Friday)

Friday evening:
+Friday evening starts off with a light dinner at Not Your Average Joe's in Watertown, to avoid rush hour traffic & then a quick drive up to Ogonquit
+Check into the hotel & then down to the center of town (blink and you'll miss it)  to have desert under the stars.
+wonderful walk around town, then back to the hotel

Saturday
+Waking up at the crack of NINE (considering our "late" morning with J is somewhere around 7, this is LUXURIOUS! )
+GLORIOUS weather
+ Ommelette Factory for breakfast OH MY GOODNESS, OMMELETTE HEAVEN! :-)
- waiting an hour for a local trolly that is wheelchair accessible and then 15 minutes while clueless driver tries miserably to figure out the chair restraints.
+Liesurely walking around Perkins Cove, Ice cream here... bit of shopping there.
+ Walking the entire Marginal Way (not possible in prior years due to stairs which have been re-designed out), stopping here & there for view breaks of the ocean, picture taking & rock climbing.
+ Continuing to walk into town & then back to the hotel (probably a total walk of approx 2 miles)
+ Showers & out to dinner at Oarweed: LOBSTAH! YUM!
+ Drive up Rt 1 for some minor supplies
++ Stopping down at Ogunquit Beach, 10:30 at night, for a romantic & nostalgic "moment": Empty beach, sitting together on a granite block gazing out into the dark night, barely able to see the waves rolling up on the beach. Very much like a night (minus heavy mist/fog), we spent together FIFTEEN YEARS ago.  Talking low, snuggling close, but now instead of talking about what could be, we are reminiscing about things we have done, and what is to come :-)
+ back to the hotel 

Sunday
+Waking up at the crack of NINE AGAIN for another GLORIOUS day!
+ fine breakfast at the hotel and we check out
+Stonewall Kitchen for all sorts of yummy samples to taste (SPICED RUM BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE IS TO DIE FOR!)  & foodstuffs to take home (including the aforementioned sauce, amongst other things)
+ Kittery outlet shopping: Little things bought here & there but always a good browsing experience otherwise
- Not finding a particular restaurant, that I mix up the directions for every year (this year being no exception)
- Heading home (mostly at least, stop in Burlington for dinner)
+ Dinner at the Cheescake Factory; Burlington to cap off a wonderful weekend
+ Meet with Deb's sister  at the Mall as they arrive back home, and our son, (after having a wonder ful weekend of his own)  quite litterally BOUNCES happily into our arms!
+ Homeward bound
- unpacking & laundry

This truly was a wonderful weekend. No rushing, no stress, little worries, and wonderful weather. Happy (late) Birthday Deb!
-Me :-)
