February 20, 2006 - Wells, Maine

Sue was over for a visit with us at the hotel. We had an early night were up by 7, Darlene made coffee and I ran over to Dunken Donuts for more coffee and begals and muffins. We were on the road by 9:30am or so. We headed for the New Hampshire border and figured the stores would be closed because of the holiday, it was President's Day here today. We drove toward Mass. and decided to try an exit to Salem, NH and see if there was any stores open, possibly a mall. We were in luck, we found a mall and did some shopping, took advantage of the tax free prices. We then got a foolish idea to head for Albany, NY at around 3 and possibly keep going and drive till 10 or so and stay two nights where we stopped. But this plan did not work out too well :). We were getting tired and I was having trouble with the map, had trouble finding the right connections to each of the highways we had to get too and we ended up driving about 2 hours out of our way...we are back safely in Albany, NY, and pretty beat up...so we are laying low tonight...and going to regroup in the morning...Good night everyone!
