Dave and I had our first day off together in about 2 to 3 months. It came with a price - lots of working as hard and quickly as possible yesterday and hopefully not too many mountains of laundry tomorrow morning.
Even though we didn't get much rest yesterday and there were remnants of a hurricane today, we decided to brave the roads today just to have a chance to leave town together. We decided to stop in Augusta (only 45 minutes into our 2.5 hour trip to Bethel) for a coffee and regroup because of the torrential downpours. I kind of wanted to turn around but Dave really wanted to see the leaves (was wondering how this would happen in the midst of fog and clouds). After our brief detour, I was feeling better about driving in a tropical storm. As we got closer to Bethel the weather cleared enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The town of Bethel is very charming. We bought a map and realized how close we were to North Conway, NH. I hadn't been there for over 20 years. Our view of the mountains on the way was not what it could have been on a clear day, but we thoroughly enjoyed it anyway. We got out and walked around when we made it to N. Conway village. The picture above is stolen from their website. We found the coolest General Store - Zeb's. I am not a major shopper but could have spent hours in there. It was a total blast. We plan to go back sometime soon.
