I'm back!!
30 May 2002 11:02Well that was just a great trip. The drive was nice and uneventful (although on the way up we accidentally went through the "exact change only" toll lane and had to drive through, park on the side of the road, and walk back to the toll booths to pay with our dollar bill), the scenery was amazing (I took tons of pictures that would make a great slide show that no one would want to sit through), there was enough to do (tourist attractions, outlet malls, and both a VCR and a DVD player), the suite was great (big bed, shower with enough hot water and water pressure, full kitchen), and Jason was there. Woo!
We stayed at the Village at Loon resort. It was nice and up in the mountains, with a wonderful balcony view. On Monday we just watched movies and went to bed... On Tuesday we drove along the Kancamangus (kanga-mangus) Highway to Conway, NH, where the outlet malls are. There was a thai restaurant there, and I hadn't had thai in almost two weeks(!!!), so we stopped for some. Jason didn't want any (he's strange) so I got takeout... veggie spring rolls, basil chicken with mushrooms, and brown rice. And I had a thai tea while waiting. It was SOOOOO good. For spiciness, I got 3 stars on a scale from 1-4. 4 was "thai native" and 3 was "adventurous". The 3 was nothing, though, I could've gotten a 4 and been fine. It was really really tasty stuff - brown rice is good with thai food, I think. And there was enough to last me two meals, and if you know how much thai food I can eat, that's pretty impressive. ;)
On Wednesday we went to the Flume Gorge, this really beautiful waterfall/forest area, with a 2-mile trail in the woods. All hilly - it was great and tiring and beautiful. We also saw the Old Man in the Mountain. Whee for being a tourist.
This morning we woke up at 7 to shower and pack and drive away to get here at my work on time. So I am tiiiired. Also hungry.
