New England

We made the most of every second
What a lovely pampered feeling

A rented home away from home
Every detail perfectly delightful
For three short days of bliss
Setting high the bar
For what fun should be

First trip on my own
Two girls out in a red convertible
Cruising down from Canada to Ogunquit
Near Boston on the New England coast
Freedom the sun the ocean air

The wind combing through our hair
Mornings spent in quaint local tourist shops
Afternoons spent tanning on beach towels
Nights dolled up hitting a dance club
High heels and mini skirts

A few photos and lots of laughs
A fun memorable trip for two single girls

Nothing like that ocean air and those ocean breezes on those "seaways" in New England... Hope you had some clam chow-dah! Thanks for the memories, Line! (sans the high heels and miniskirts, mind you). :) gw
