Tina: I also saw a bakery, maybe we can get some things there. I want to send post cards back to the girls. I think you’re going to have to feed me some chowder daily, I just can’t seem to get enough.

Bette: We never ate much soup in LA, but it is great food here during an east coast winter. Tomorrow we should head out for breakfast. We can keep an eye out for a place here or just go back to the diner.

Tina: Vermont blueberry pancakes, oh yea I’m there.

Bette: I know we planned to head back on Friday, but I have an idea. Let’s head up to Maine on Friday. I’ll go online to find us a room for the night. That way we can spend the afternoon and evening in Maine and  as long as we want on Saturday. I still want to drive back on Saturday, but it won’t matter to me if we get back late on Saturday ngiht. We can even split the driving on the way back.

Tina: Stop the car, Bette Porter is willing to sell her Saab and let me drive it? Just kidding baby, I love that idea. That means I get a lobster dinner and lobster lunch right?

Bette: You can find a lobster breakfast  if you want. This has been an awesome vacation and there is no reason to cut it short. With all the food we plan to eat I am so glad we’re using Vera few mornings a week so I can still get to the gym. Though we’ve been getting good exercise playing in the snow.

Angelica: I wanna play.

Tina: Well hello sweet pea, did you get enough sleep?

Angelica: Yes.

Tina: Well we’re going shopping now so we need you to be a good girl and don’t touch thing, OK.

Angelica: I good Mommy.

Bette: Yes you are baby, you are a good girl.

The find a parking spot and hit the bakery first. They didn’t have dessert so they had coffee with a couple of pastries. Angelica’s chubby cheeks netted her a cookie on the house. Tina selected a few items to take back to the house. They also got advice on which shop had the best syrup and a good place for breakfast in the morning. Next stop was a gift shop where they bought a few bottles of maple syrup and Tina was in gourmet heaven with the various sauces and jellies available. Bette wheeled Angelica over to the post cards and selected several they could send to the girls. Tina finally made her way over with her selections and they checked out. Next stop: toy store.
