So I promised a Mini-TR from our camping trip to Old Orchard Beach, Maine. And when I saw camping, I mean that it the very loosest sense of the word. We have been going to the same campground since I was 1 (so 31 years). At some point when I was a toddler, my parents became seasonal (which for non-camping people means that the camper stays there all the time). Our site because increasingly more fancy dancy. It now barely resembles camping and more luxury living! That RV is nicer than some of my apartments!
Anyway, so had promised my mom to babysit her dog for the weekend while she went to a wedding on the Cape. And since her dog and my cat really dont see eye to eye, it made sense to go to Maine. We drove up Friday night and got there in record time which was fabulous. My mothers dog was a pain in the neck like he always is. He is the most spoiled dog. He gets carsick so he has to sit in the front seat with his head raised. And he cries when hes not with my mother! So again, I repeat, it was great that we made such good time because that crying in obnoxious
Friday night we didnt do much. Aisling and Randy fell asleep fairly quickly and I watched something stupid on TV. Saturday we woke up bright and early because of the stupid dog! He was crying again.
We got dressed, Randy cooked breakfast, and then we hit the pool. Well, mostly Aisling hit the pool and we stayed in the hot tubs!
Afterward, we went for dinner to our favorite seafood place. While we had been swimming, Randy got a really bad headache that made him revisit breakfast and lunch He had been feeling better so he wanted to go to dinner. Well we all know what happens when youve been sick and you smell seafood. Just not a good combo. But Randy never complained. In fact, he got the food and went and got me a drink. A big drink. A drink that comes in a sandbucket. If you are on FB
you probably saw it!
Now, if you know me at all
.i rarely drink. Very rarely. But it was hot. So I downed half this baby and then Aisling asked to go to the bathroom. I got up to take her and I could barely walk a straight line. I was like a cartoon! I got back to the table and Randy looked miserable. But here is the issue. I always drive. I get car sick so I drive everywhere. But there was NO WAY I could drive. I felt terrible since Randy looked so sick but he was a trooper about it. And since he was
I might as well FINISH the drink right??? LOL!
We got back to the campground without incident and from the fresh air, Randy was feeling a bit better. I told him that I was going to take Aisling downtown to ride the rides alone but he felt okay enough to go (I was still a little silly so it was probably in everyones best interest that he walk down with us).
Along the way, I took some pics of things that brought me back to my childhood. I wont bore you with them all but these two must be shared!!!!
Who still buys these?!?!
And just in case you think that they are left over from the 80s
they arent
We got downtown and it started to rain. Of course right! So some of the rides shut down. Aisling was not happy. She now big enough for all the big rides and she wanted to try them all!!! She did get on some though
(Worst ripoff of Dumbo ever!!! Its even named Dumbo!)
After we finished up on the rides, Aisling wanted to do her Americas Next Top Model act on the beach.
COMING SOON!!!! ANTM and the Aftermath
JK - glad to hear you have all of the outfits cut out already! That will make things a lot easier.
It finally got hot here in Boston and now it's too hot to sew!!!
So, she wanted to be carried home. NOT happening!!
