365: Day 48- Portland!

2/17/14:  It is is School Vacation Week here in MA so we decided to head up to Portland, Maine on President's Day. This winter has been rough and I've got the doldrums so I wanted us to do something fun as a family. Portland is just over 2 hours away so it also sounded like the perfect road trip.


Shortly after we checked in to the hotel on Monday afternoon we headed to the pool.


We have never stayed in a traditional hotel with the kids. They LOVED running down the long hallways to our room!


After swimming we showered and got dressed up to enjoy a nice dinner out. 


We ate at a cute neighborhood restaurant called The Front Room.


The kids were exhausted from swimming and not napping.


We took advantage of a shuttle service offered by the hotel, and enjoyed door-to-door service to and from the restaurant.


Our room was a suite with a pull-out sleeper bed for the kids. They crashed as soon as we got back from dinner...

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
