The Maine event

by Mary on December 22, 2010 · 14 comments

Hey you guysss!!!!

It feels like I haven’t written in forever!! Actually, that’s not entirely true because I had such a great time in Maine that time flew…but y’all were missed nonetheless.

For all those that are just tuning in, I made a week-long trip there to meet Michael’s family.  You think I would have been nervous, but Michael made his family out to be so great that I wasn’t really worried.  He was right too because his family’s supa cool.  Cool

I’m not just saying that either- they’re more like friends than “his family”, you know?  They really made me feel welcome and at home. Smile

Rewinding a bit for a recap…if you remember Thursday, I wasn’t having that great of luck with flights.  While I missed my first one, I made sure to make the next available flight out.  A few hours later, I was in Washington being greeted by this:

First real snow all winter so far!!  I even got to walk in it a few seconds while being bussed to the terminal.

There were a few delays and cancellations due to the snow of course..but thank goodness my flight wasn’t affected.  Phew.

I was greeted by Michael, his father, and little brother at the airport while his mom greeted me with a hug once getting to the house.  It was after dark so we didn’t do much when first getting there, but the next morning Michael, his mom, and I set out on a little adventure.

Our first stop was the beach! 

We dragged his poor mom out in the cold to take a picture of us.  It looks sunny and warm…but looks can be decieving. 

Afterward we went to a lot of cute little stores, some of them being exlusive to Maine.  I saw a lot of stuff (food wise or not) that I had never seen before which was really neat but the real fun was just spending time with them out in town.

We also had another little outing while I was there- ice skating!  Where I managed to face plant twice within the first 5 minutes. Eek!  

I wish I was kidding.  But it’s no big deal…Michael was sure to be there to hang on.

Cute

Alright, lovelies..I’m off for a quick jog.  Have a wonderful day!

**Are you on break for the holidays?  What have you done?

I am awful at icce skating! I have to hold on to the rail the entire time! It always looks so fun but you have to have no fear of falling and I have a lot of fear!
Glad you got away ok- I was supposed to be going to disney, charleston and savannah but my flight was cancelled due to snow in the UK so I am at home, baking instead! Trying to make the most of it.

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the flight troubles. :( Maybe you could try again in the Spring if you can..those places would be just as nice then and there’d be slim chance of any airport issues. :)

It’d be fun to ice skate outside. I’ve only ever seen that in the movies!
