Oh Winter, where is thy sting?
I trecked to the nearest LL Bean store in West Lebanon, New Hampshire today. It was a beautiful sunny day - perfect for a Sunday drive. I scored a bunch of winter clothes loot, and then ordered some more online when I got home, since I then had a better idea of my sizes and there was a better selection on the internets. I got boots! a big down coat! gloves! warm socks! flannel-lined jeans! long underwear! a fleece jacket! Never fear - the warm Juan is here!
On my way back I stopped briefly in Brattleboro, Vermont to check out a bookstore there and grab some dinner. Most of the stores were closed up though and it was getting dark, so I need to go back sometime soon. (I had some decent enough Thai food there, but I miss Pen Thai in Bothell and Typhoon!) Brattleboro is only about a half hour away. The little states out here are so cute. I was in 3 states today!
