Our last stop before arriving home was to our favorite liquore store, the NH Liquor & Wine Outlet. These liquor stores are tax-free, as most everything in NH already is, and discounted on top of that. We picked up two bottles of vino to have at home.
All 3 of these shots are in downtown Keene in the Monadnock Shopping Center. We don't live in Keene, but it's our closest real shopping area when we come down off the "mountain." I wanted to include these because I don't think we've ever put any Keene photos up.
The first shot shows what few chain restaurants we have close by. You have to squint to see the Olive Garden (bleh!), a Chili's (Yea!) and a Longhorn Steakhouse (good if it's all you have available.)
The second shot shows that while we do live free or die up here, we still have time for a Target, a Borders, a Gamestop (thank God!), and a Circuit City (thank God again!)
Just look at the view behind the Olive Garden! It might be substandard Italian, but it has one hell of a view.
After buying our wine, we headed home to unpack the car and finally, finally cook our own meal for the first time in 3 weeks. Nothing tastes better than your own food.
We don't have any shots of our dinner, but you can imagine a nice Chardonnay, an expertly grilled pork chop, a baked potato (craved one after seeing an Outback ad) and a wonderful salad. An excellent end to 3 days of hard driving!
