It was non-stop after I got up this morning at 9am. I was mostly concerned about getting to my follow up post surgery appointment which was at 11:15am. When I got out of bed I had a breakfast bar and then got myself ready to go out. Before my appointment I went to the drug store and got some supplies necessary for the trip. My appointment went pretty well so now I only have to see the doctor again if something bothers me. Actually, at first I was a little nervous because I mentioned the increase in pain I was having to my doctor but he said I probably just pulled a muscle. He says a lot of younger people tend to do that because they increase their activity too soon. Once my appointment was over I stopped into work to pick up my paycheck, then on the way home I dropped it off at the bank.
When I got home my Mom was already at my house because she would be watching my dog for me while I am away. Within a few minutes of getting home myself, my fiancé arrived to my place from work and I got all of the last things I needed to bring packed. Then we were on our way! Our trip this time was to Block Island, Rhode Island and we had to take a ferry to get there. I was hoping that we would be able to make the high speed ferry which would leave at 4:40pm. I was driving and was mainly concerned with hitting traffic on the way but we only hit one area which didn't slow us down too much. We made one quick stop on the way to get gas and coffee but still managed to make the ferry on time. I was so relieved once we were on the ferry and when we got to Block Island my second to oldest sister arrived with her husband to pick us up!

We didn't stay at the original place we had planned on because it ended up being a little too rustic for the price. I'm not going to mention the name of the place here! I was relieved to find out that my sister and her husband had taken care of the arrangements for different lodging before we arrived. I felt bad that they had to go through all of that planning but was very grateful! Once we put our things in the room we were off for some drinks at one of the local hotels overlooking the ocean called "Spring House Hotel". It was an absolutely fabulous view and an extremely wonderful margarita:) Afterwards we went to a place called "The Poor People's Pub" for dinner and I decided to try the BBQ pork pizza. It was terrific but I was scared to eat too much of it so my company helped me out with that! Before we went in for the night we went to another local inn, called "The Atlantic Inn" and had one more round of drinks. Everyone was pretty tired after that so we all went to bed!
