Scenes From The Weekend

For the first weekend since mid-June, we did not journey north. As tempting as it was in the sticky humidity Saturday, we needed to focus on settling into the new place. So it was a productive weekend of unpacking and furniture hunting but we also managed to do some exploring, including a nice walk through downtown Portsmouth Saturday morning. Lots of little brick-lined streets brimming with cute shops and tasty-looking restaurants. Really adorable and lively city. Before heading back into downtown for an absolutely delicious dinner at Moxy (seriously amazing "American Tapas"), we tackled errands and unpacking. Progress!

The gross weather broke Sunday after t-storms so we ventured off to an old Fort in Kittery someone had recommended for a dog walk. It was nice to get Merwin out and about a bit and the views were unreal. Actually, I'll stare at them for awhile as I try to let this morning's 2 hour and 10 minute ride into the office melt into the past. Too bad I can't bottle up the waves and sun and roll around in them while I'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic surrounded by IDIOTS who don't understand how driving cars actually works. Happy Monday.
