Campton-Sunday Recovery

Sunday......was most def a recovery day.  As explained in the previous post, we spent Saturday skiing, drinking, and dancing.  Graham, jason, and Lori were the only ones to 'nut up' and hit the slopes again.  Carmen, Jenny and I decided to spend our Sunday chilling.

The first thing we decided to do late Sunday morning was to hit the Sugar Shack for some yummy breakfast.  This is a little place located in Campton, NH that personifies New England breakfast joint.  Blueberry French Toast, Rasberry Stuffed French Toast, and Egg Scrambels were the order of the day.

After breakfast, we decided to take drive through a section of the White Mountains, via Route 302 East, which passes through Bretton Woods Resort and the Eisenhower Memorial Wayside Park.  This is one of my favorite things to do when visiting NH. 

Once we got to Bretton Woods, we decided to stop and check out the historic White Mountain Hotel.  After exploring the grounds, our next order of business was to grab a drink and enjoy watching the snow fall from the hotel's spacious parlor.  Now I need to spend some time detailing the drinks we enjoyed:

Hot Banana Splits

• Creme de Banana
• Butter Shots
• Hot Chocolate
• Whip Cream

Needless to say, we had a couple.

We returned  back to Campton  at 5:30 pm to meet up with the three  aforementioned  boarders (Graham, Jason, and Lori).  The rest of the evening entailed dinner at the Common Man in Plymouth, NH and then a movie.  By any standard......a perfect New Hampshire day.

Campton Style

 

The above pic personifies the vibe of this weekend.  So relaxing....well, at least when we are not polishing off bottles of El Tesoro (THANK YOU JENNY) or Pitrone Silver.

Skiing yesterday was ok.  We hit Waterville Valley in the afternoon as we needed to sleep off the night before.   It was a bit hard to adjust to the short runs after Whistler.  However, the snow was fantastic.  There were only a couple of spots that were icy.  Otherwise, we enjoyed powder.

The Russo clan, Lori C, Carmen, Graham, Jenny and I  kicked up our feet at The Bucket for a little Apres after our runs on the mountain.  Shout outs are in order for Jason's Mother who celelbrated her birthday yesterday.

Last night we had dinner at Lucky Dog in Plymouth, NH.  We then returned back to the condo for a night cap, dancing, and sledding.  I plan to upload all of the pics tomorrow.  We also captured some funny video footage-not sure if I will share any of that though ;).

2006 Flotilla Pics Uploaded

Last Saturday, I attended my first official Russo Flotilla in Campton, NH.  This event consisted of 22 people floating down the  Pemigewasset River on infaltable tubes and one inflatable whale.  Two of the tubes where Sherpas to the the coolers that contained our beer for the couple hour (freezing) journey.

Pictures are uploaded here.

Eons Launch Party

  This evening I enjoyed attending the official launch party of Eons.com, a new portal launched by Jeff Taylor (founder of Monster.com) for the Baby Boomer Segment.  The event was held in the Charlestown Navy Yard, where Eons corporate headquarters is located. 

I was joined by my brother Ian and his wife Daisey.  Also in attendance at the party was Richard Dreyfus and Jane Seymour (see photo on the right-excuse the quality as its from the camera on my Palm 700W).  ML Carr from Boston Celtics fame also made an appearance.

My firm, One to One Interactive, was recently awarded the online launch duties on behalf of Eons.  We are excited to be a part of Jeff's new business venture and look forward to displacing AARP as the go to association for people over 50. 

Easter Weekend Cocktail Party

Last night I decided to host a cocktail party.  It has been at least 4-5 months since I had people over to my condo and I thought this weekend was as good as any to gather up some friends for some North End festivities.  Shout outs go to Blake, Russ, Beth, Edson, Jill, Jamie, Alicia, Jason R, Jason M, Greg, Dougie, and DJ Scoach.  Thanks for a great time!  I have posted pics here.
