Introverted Weekend

Lately, my weekends have consisted of traveling to Roslindale, MA. Which for those of you who don't know, it's a city of Boston. That means I have to drive on 93 (an interstate that goes straight through Boston), at about 4:00 on a Friday afternoon. For those of you who don't know Mass traffic, that's a bad time. Mind you the first time I made the drive, it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to drive a whole 10 miles. Yep, could have driven it faster on a tractor. That thought helped me get through the drive.

The drives haven't been terrible, and when it ends with seeing this face:

Who wouldn't want to make that drive??? 

This weekend we decided to finally take some time for ourselves. The previous 3 weekends were dedicated to doing things with other people, and we needed time to just be by ourselves and enjoy each other's company, and we did just that!!! 

Much of the weekend was planned on a whim, including a diner breakfast, a barbershop, a small town farmer's market, and a hike. Such a comfy, cozy, fall weekend. Just perfect!

We decided to take a hike in the Blue Hills Region, which confused me, because Blue Hill is a town in Maine, the town in which I was born. That town doesn't belong in Massachusetts. 

But, nevertheless, the hike was beautiful. The leaves were changing color, and falling all around. I'm not one to take a lot of photos, but I snapped these two of interesting things we saw along the way. 

Random rock that looked pretty ominous.

One of the many trails we followed.
 The "path less traveled" illustration anyone? 

The hike turned out to be a bit longer than we had originally planned, due to a lack of attention paid to what direction we were walking down the mountain.....The picture at the top is the "are we seriously lost?" face. 

After an hour in the wrong direction, and walking half way around the mountain, my hip popping out of joint, the soldier made me sit, while he got the car. Isn't that cute?? I was much happier not having to walk another mile....

While on the hike UP the mountain we snapped a pretty darn good picture of ourselves, if I do say so myself, we take some good selfies.

It turned out to be a wonderful weekend of snuggles and recuperating. I think we can go back to hanging around people again. :)
