Fortunes Rocks Beach

On Sunday, I took a little road trip to Maine to buy a used snow blower. A solo road trip wouldn't be complete without a little unplanned excursion. Thanks to the wonders of wifi squatting, I found my way Fortunes Rocks Beach near Biddeford Pool. It was a beautiful way to spend a few minutes on the first day of spring!







I've been struggling with recent world events, including the earthquake in Japan and the bombing of Libya. The soothing sounds of the rolling Atlantic were just what I needed to help wash away the fear.

Pack Monadnock

Yesterday, we went for a short hike at Pack Monadnock in Temple, New Hampshire.

Resting

Summer Escape

Earlier this month, I escaped the humidity of New England and spent four nights in Las Vegas. I timed my trip to surprise a dear friend for her 40th birthday. She was speechless! I enjoyed two nights camping in the Spring Mountains and two nights in a hotel in Henderson. Driving a Smart Car was a fun treat, too.

Itching to Go

Lately, I have the itch to hop in the van and go exploring. I dream about packing few clothes for the kids and wandering around for a few days; stopping wherever seems interesting to sleep and eat. It's not really possible right now, due to a variety of appointments, finances, the cat, two rats and our fish.

I've been researching RVs online and still don't know what will suit us best. I briefly looked at a used Gulf Stream Endura that was in near-perfect condition. It was out of our price range, but gave me a lot to think about. Baby steps, baby steps.

Mr. Q has to travel for work for at least two weeks in July. I'm excited for him, as he'll be contributing to an important project doing something that he enjoys. I can't help but feel a bit jealous!
