So we finally named the cottage. We will call it "Grey Gardens". It is named after the famous Grey Gardens and if you have never seen the movie or documentary you need to see it immediately. It is basically about a mother and daughter and the mother tries to keep the daughter with her at her house (Grey Gardens) forever. And since my kids are never going to leave me, I felt the name was perfect lol.
Yesterday we went up to the cottage for the day to start making it our own. I couldn't do too much but the kids were super helpful!
When starting to take down the wallpaper we discovered 9 layers of paper and the walls were getting damaged. Soooo I may have talked Mark into letting me wallpaper the place! I LOVE wallpaper but Mark hates taking it down BUT he may go for it now!
We did find this magical surprise in the kids' bedrooms when took up the carpet!
Then we had our first dinner at Grey Gardens. We enjoyed delicious subs from a local deli. It was the perfect first meal.
We are so excited to make this place our own. The kids are at such a great age and they are so involved and helpful. We are already making some great memories!
On Saturday I was lucky enough to steal a friend's reservation for a fun lunch at Juicy Burger inside and igloo!
It was the perfect day for it and thank God I had some extra sunglasses in my car!
We all agreed it felt like being on vacation because it was so toasty warm in there!
Thanks Carolyn for having hockey and not being able to use your reservation! We loved it!
