New Hampshire

I've had this whole week off.  My boss decided that we'd be slow enough to be closed all week.  It's unpaid, but it's also a welcome escape.

On Monday, I headed up to New Hampshire to visit my cousins who have a place up there.  Their cottage is a cute little cabin in the woods off the beaten track in the town of Raymond.  I've been there before, and usually taken 93 to 101, but the GPS wanted me to get off 93 at the 495 exit.  Always one to do what I'm told, I figured "why not?" got off the exit.  It led me to Route 125 in Plaistow, NH.

As I drove, I thought it was actually pretty appropriate, as that's the route that we always took to go camping in Hampstead, NH when I was a kid.  I even stopped for a coke at the Wendy's on 125 in Plaistow, NH, since my grandparents always took me there for lunch on the way up to the campground.

I arrived at the cottage during the late morning, and spent the day relaxing by the lake.  It was a great day.

Go Celtics!

Last night, after the ice cream, I came home and watched the rest of Game 7 of the Celtics-Sixers series.  The Celtics won, and will go on to play the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Series.

Today, my Dad went to Fenway park to help fold the flag and prepare it to be raised at tomorrow's game.  He's going to help raise it tomorrow, and the whole family is going to the game.  I'm not sure where our seats are, exactly.  We have to get them at Will Call.  I do know that we're going in at Gate A, which is near 3rd base, so we should have a great view of the park!  I'm poor, so when I go, I usually buy cheap tickets, but these tickets were gifts from my aunt's boss.

Enjoy the rest of Memorial Day Weekend, all!
