Engagement August 30 2008
On Saturday Heather and I left Boston
for Mt
Washington New Hampshire on the start of our
driving tour of New England for labor day weekend... what she did not know
was that I was planning on asking her to marry me on the top of Mt Washington...
The plan was to drive up the auto road then do some hiking and when we
came upon a the perfect spot and view I was going to ask her.. well the weather
did not cooperate as it was blowing about 30 mph and most of the mountain was
covered in clouds and the temps were in the 50s. So we hiked up to the summit
which is more of just scampering up25 yards of wet rocks... where we got some
one to take a picture of us, then I took a
video while Heather was
wondering what the hell I was doing and why we did not get back down off the
summit... I then hugged her and asked her to marry me and she said yes.. I took
the after video
where she was all smiles and we headed back down for a meal of mountain chili to
celebrate...
We left New Hampshire that afternoon and went to Portland Maine and stayed at
the Eastland Park Hotel for a night to celebrate and had a great dinner at Fore
in downtown Portland...
