I turned 25 yesterday. YEP a whole quarter of a century. I'm getting OLD. The day started off with some beautiful flowers from Alan. Then he surprised me with a trip to Massachusetts/New Hampshire. It was a fun little road trip. We have both been CRAVING some GOOD and SPICY mexican food for awhile now. Pretty much since we left CA, so we found a Baja Fresh in MA. Then I scoped out some scrapbook stores (thank you all my 2Peas-girls!) Because the weather was kind of sketchy we didn't head all the way to Boston, but we still had a good time. FILLED UP on Baja Fresh. I even professed my love of the food to the owner of the store. He thought I was funny. Offered to cook me some more. Then I asked for some of the logo paper that they wrap the food in for my scrapbook. He was so proud! :) AND BOY OH BOY did I have fun in the stores. I about died in this store called Absolutely Everything in MA. I was in heaven. The coolest store I've ever been to. I told the owner, and she was really impressed. She had just gotten back from CHA in Anaheim, CA and I told her I was from CA. Then she picked my brain about stores in CA, I told her hers was still better! She gave me 40% off for my birthday on one of the Memory Box penguins I bought. I got some owls too. I got lots of cute stamps. WOO HOO. Then we stopped at a store in NH too. It was much smaller but they had some cute paper that I NEEDED. Then on the way home we stopped at Coldstone's for my FREE birthday ice cream.
Here are some random pictures from the day.
Gerbera Daisies and Tulips! My fave.
Oops, didn't really have my camera ready for this one!
I thought the name of this store was classic!
I became giddy at the sight of this beautiful establishment.
Seriously, I couldn't stop giggling with joy!
Alan modeling with our JOYOUS meal!
Want a chip?
You have to have just the right amount of salsa!
PERFECT!
TIME TO EAT!
Fixin' to CHOW DOWN!
Eat your lettuce! (Just kidding, this is cilantro)
We heard this father trying to trick his kid into eating it.
I thought it was funny and kept saying it.
SO full. But in heaven!
We thought this looked like Alan's old neighborhood in Chicago.
I thought these green crosswalks were neat.
Stopping traffic!
Me and Mr. New Hampshire
Me on the laptop while driving...checking email & 2Peas.
(Or Peain' in the car as Alan called it!) Oh and yes, Alan took this while driving.
I found this owl in Downtown Portland. It was just in a store window of a clothing store. Isn't he neat? I wish I could have bought it. The store was closed though.
ICE CREAM!
Love me my Coldstone's!

Hi! I post my blog challenges too and couldn't help but notice you were in my home area! Absolutely Everything is my LSS and I too love Baja Fresh. I go by it all the time but only recently tried it. Good Fish Tacos (that I had only had before when I visited Cali). Enjoyed reading about your trip to MA! Happy Birthday.
