7:15 Woke up for the first time. Boyfriend was (as usual) already up. Cuddled for a bit and he went to write some emails on his laptop. I went back to sleep.
9:15 Woke up again. Boyfriend came back to the room. Showered and packed up our stuff.
10:30 Went to breakfast at Raspberries across the street and had a great breakfast: omlettes, fruits, potatoes, juices, milk, and coffee.
11:50 Finished breakfast. Walked through a little path behind the hotel to the beach. Crossed a river on the way.
It's still before the high season, and there weren't that many people on the beach. It was this breathtaking empty stretch of smooth white sand several miles long.
It was very low tide and the beach looked enormous. I couldn't stop taking pictures.
12:50: Slowly walked back to town. Drove around town and visited a few other B&B to research places to stay when we come back again.
1:30: Parked our car at one of those other hotels close to the beach, and walked down “Marginal Way”, a several-miles-long path along the beach that leads into a cove. The view along the way was amazing. Quite a few more tourists though, and the weather turned a little more chilly. Thankfully both Boyfriend and I brought our sweaters.
3:00: Walked back to our car and drove out of Ogunquit. Bought 4 live lobsters in the supermarket on the way. The supermarket was one of the nicest I have ever seen. People in that area sure live well!
3:30: Back in Kittery. Went back to the Tumi store and bought yet another bag… for my computer. Super-cute!
4:15: Began driving home. We decided to not take highways and instead took side roads and just generally went Southwest, using our GPS system to check occasionally our location and our directions. This made the drive back so much more entertaining and interesting. We drove through the center of many quaint little New Hampshire and Massachusetts town – Exeter, Groton, Lancaster…
7:00 Drove through Sturbridge, and since I was tired and hungry, had dinner on the patio of a lovely restaurant.
9:00 I drove since Boyfriend was tired after the big dinner. This time we went on highways since it was already after dark.
Talked about law school plans on the way back.
There are so many things we need to do before September to make sure that we can live together next year and not be apart too much, that the company, his property, and everything else in our lives are still in good shape, and at the same time to keep costs down and the move smooth.
The complexity involved is unbelievable, and depresses me a little when I think about it, but at least we are talking about it and trying to make everything work.
10:15: Got home and exhausted. Took our purchases out of the car and immediately put several of them to use. At Brookstones Boyfriend bought an electrical massager that is just amazing, so we took turns massaging each other’s back. I bought a white-noise machine that can simulate different types of sound: wind, stream, rain, thunderstorm, the ocean, tropical forest, etc.
12:30: I put the setting on thunderstorm (my favorite setting so far and the sound soothes me to sleep).
If only every day was like yesterday.
