♥ carpe diem.

to celebrate my first totally free weekend since our wedding, 

nick came up with a brilliant idea: to get out of town and 

spend an evening in a beautiful bed & breakfast.

on a whim, he chose  the hawthorn inn, a charming b&b in camden, maine, 

which serendipitously turned out to be everything we could have asked for- 

quaint rooms, well-read/well-cultured innkeepers, vegetarian dining &

lots of tea, coffee, books and art all beneath a delicate coating 

of freshly fallen snow.

   

we walked to town and i made the fatal mistake of forgetting

to pack any sort of all-weather boots. hence, the bee galoshes, which

i bought while i was there. stupid mistake- but a cute one, at least.

coincidentally, this is also the weekend of the national toboggan championships,

which we neglected to partake in- but did happen to get a lovely fireworks show

from right outside our window that evening.

as we woke up to a gorgeous sunrise and a delicious breakfast,

we both agreed that it was such a great idea to break from the norm,

sieze the day, and make the most out of a mini-adventure.
