A Mini Getaway.

Remember the little getaway I mentioned last week? Well, Friday night, Husby and I loaded up and headed two hours into the next state. There, we ate at one of our favorite little eateries that we stumbled upon years ago while passing through.



Here, at this classic old time diner, they serve the best french dip sandwich!



After our late dinner at the diner, we ventured over to an Irish donut shoppe, that we discovered on the same "passing-through" trip years earlier. This place is amazing because their hours are 6PM - 11AM. Open all night, baby!

We snagged these:



They. Were. Incredible. See the big round one with the white stuff on top? Well, it was a cream cheese donut, and I am not lying when I say I DREAMED about it Friday night. It was absolutely insanely fabulous. Mmmm.

The next morning, we got up bright and early and headed to the train station. Here, we boarded an antique classic train from the 1920's. It was remolded and refurbished to be exactly like it was back in it's prime. It took us on a three hour ride throughout the state, winding in and out of the Boston mountains. We were able to see some beautiful fall foliage. It was SO much fun.

They served us lunch on board, and we sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed the ride.

















We drove through this tunnel and it was pitch black for like 30 seconds. You couldn't even see your hand in front of your face!




I saw a gorgeous tree in the distance, and tried my hardest to snap a pic as we flew by. This was the best I could do. The tree was half vibrant red, and half brilliant purple. It was so pretty.



We also saw drove through some very old towns, and saw some pretty cool buildings. The second one was made famous by a movie...I just forgot what one, though. :)





On our way back, Husby and I spotted this HILARIOUS kid who was completely mesmerized by our train. I had to take his picture. He stood like this and waved for about 10 minutes - even while we were at a complete stop. So funny.



At the end of the ride, they gave us a commemorative photo! So fun!



After our train pulled back into town, we explored a little of the old community around us. Again, some beautiful buildings.







We topped off the afternoon with a movie and a late dinner at a local Spanish restaurant. It was GREAT! Here are some food photos (taken by my phone - sorry for the quality).

This salsa was ammmmazing.



Check out how our guacamole came! So fun.



My burrito was almost too pretty to eat. I said almost.



We rolled in late Saturday night, and went straight to bed. It was a delightful little getaway with my sweet, sweet Husby.
