Vermont

Lame

We're leaving on our second summer trip and I haven't posted since before our first! Oops-2 year old lfe keeps me hopping.

Greetings from Vermont

We're quite thrilled to be on vacation #2 of the summer-in Vermont, the weather has been gorgeous. We missed most of the rain that has hit the East Coast, but we had our share before we left. Little Guy's been hiking, to a bluegrass festival where he danced and danced, met some family for the first time, visited a doggy kennel (which was a little scary since it was noisy), and did so very well on the very long drive here. We love where we're staying, at the Stone Boat Farm in Jamaica, VT-we recommend it highly!

Merry Christmas from Santa Bear! 

I have NO idea what the hell these things were in the lobby of our motel...aliens? walruses? pig butts on a stick? All I do know is that they completely freaked me out! 

Happy to be home safely

It was a whirlwind trip to Vermont for my nephew J's wedding, much too short. We knew the ride home would be interesting as the snow started flying as we were leaving Bennington. In New York the flakes were flying and sticking to the road. Freaked out as we passed a car on it's side "cars aren't supposed to be on their side". The snow gave way to ice around Harrisburg. Total accident count we saw was around 13, I believe, including the jack-knifed tractor trailer on northbound 81 in PA. Once we were home tucked in our bed I turned to P and thanked him for getting us home safely.

My other nephew J dropped the bombshell at the wedding that his girlfriend is pregnant. Surprisingly I didn't feel sad about it, just kind of excited that there will be 2 new babies for the family roughly the same age. Not sure how my dad will take learning he'll be a great-grandfather!
