He's Here!

Gabriel and Amanda got in at 11:30 last night and he did great. Now it's time to play with my grandson......YIPEEEEE!!!!!

We're Off Again

This time we went to Rumney New Hampshire. Friends of ours own a beautiful house right on the lake, they let us use it for the week (thanks Mike and Nancy). So we packed up the gang (including our friends dog, he loves going on vacation with us) and hit the road. It seems like any where you look in New Hampshire there is a picture perfect view. On one of our adventures we found this beautiful waterfall. I wanted to find a place to swim but it was running pretty hard. The weather was crazy, rain in some valleys and beautiful sunny days just 10 miles away, but it's always fun with our gang.

Polar Caves

Our friends headed back today so Paul and I decided to explore the Polar Caves. It's a pretty cool place. A glacier moved over New Hampshire thousands of years ago, as is thawed blocks of granite (hence the name the Granite State) cracked and fell forming the caves. We never found out why they are named "Polar" caves, there were never any polar bears there. I sure got a workout that day!

It started out a little cloudy this morning so we went to breakfast at a local diner...notice the name, pretty cool don't you think :-) Then took a ride through some back roads and little towns. We stopped at a farmers market in Bethlehem and while we were walking around the town we found these two places. One was a "junk" shop. I can't begin to tell you the crap this guy had in this place! It was very interresting to say the least. Then a little further down the street was this other place, it was suppose to be an artists studio. The place was falling apart but the cool thing was all the tonker trucks lining the railing. There were a couple of other odd places but we decided we better get out of there while we still could....has anyone ever seen the movie Deliverence...... what a town!

The Rally

On Thursday we left Rumney and headed for the rally at Attitash Mountain in Bartlett NH. My cousin and his wife met us there. The weather wasn't great but we did get some riding in when we got there and again for a while on friday until the rain came in and we just couldn't get away from it. Saturday was a different story, it was beautiful and we rode all day....the hot tub felt great after that! We had another great vacation.

Pirates Of RI

Our colorful cuban friend, Captain 'Rique, and his sidekick Lola docked in my backyard on their way out to sea. To funny, we never know what he's going to do next. He and his bird were hired for some entertainment at a wedding. Talk about weird, the whole wedding was a pirate theme. Maybe it had something to do with us being the ocean state....you never know when it comes to RI.
