Our Weekend in North Conway, NH!

We took a nice long weekend to New Hampshire for Dave to do his much trained for race UP Mt Washington. The sad news is the race was cancelled both days d/t horrible weather at the top (70-80 MPH sustained winds, zero visibility, freezing rain/snow, wind chills below zero!) Yes, this is August! Emma and I made it to the top though, being the dedicated wife and daughter! They did not cancel till we just arrived up there. So, we turned around and went back down, us and about 100 other dedicated family members, clutching the wheel and trying not to ride the brakes as to burn them out! Poor Dave, he was so sad, 6 months of training! But to cheer him up, we took him to StoryLand for the day, and had a great time! That place is so cute, and Emma loves it! The next day we decided to surpise Emma, and we took her on a mystery ride, and ended up at Santa's Village about 1 hour from North Conway. This is a small park, all geared around Christmas. Fun rides, no lines, we all had a great time. That day was actually my 42nd birthday, ugh! It was fun to be there and recall the memories of my mom and dad taking Lisa and I there as kids!! We also saw a big Moose on the way to Santa's Village, chomping grass at the side of the road, then we saw a Black Bear on the side of the road on the way back!! He was poking his head up and down, waiting for traffic to clear, like a good little bear, before crossing! The whole w/e was very cool, we were in jeans and polar feece all weekend, very Fall like! It was good to get away, my head is feeling and looking better (thank God!) I just have a bad head cold to deal with now, even after going thru a million anti-bac wipes in NH! Next chemo is Monday 8/27....skipping the Neulasta this time, we think that is what gave me the bad head reaction. So we shall see! Enjoy the photos from our weekend, and a few from my birthday cake with my mom, sister Lisa, neice Charlotte (4) and Emma (6 1/2)!
