We are finally about to take some much needed, post-deployment leave. We've never been to Vermont so we figured, let's go to Vermont! My amazing mom is coming out to stay with the kiddos while Shawn and I spend a week skiing, sleeping late, exploring and eating not-at-all-kid-friendly meals. We haven't skied since Blue Knob, PA oh, seven? eight years ago? We haven't been anywhere alone since our son was a baby!
After rummaging through our box of winter gear we realized things are not looking good, so I think we'll be packing light and shopping on the way. I will, however, be making good use of my favorite socks. I am happy right down to my toes. Vermont, here we come.
You might have your trip planned already, but Lawrence and I were in Vermont a couple of years ago and stayed at a really great bed and breakfast outside of Fairfax, which is near Burlington. It's called the Inn at Buck Hollow. The innkeepers are very nice people, and their breakfast offerings are yummy. The inn sits on over 400 acres, and they even have a sugarhouse. http://www.buckhollow.com/
