And we're back!

I know, I know. I shouldn't have abandoned you all like that. But the good news is, I have 7 days worth of vacation pictures and stories from snowy, beautiful Vermont for you!

Since we were stuck in traffic in New Jersey for what felt like 12 years (along with every other citizen on the east coast...which is another rant entirely...) I haven't had much time to write, but I do have lots of pictures.

Here are some of sledding at my grandparents' house (pre-blizzard snow). Enjoy! :)

My brother (right) and our friend Sandy (left) racing down the driveway.
Me and my daddy racing (hopefully you can tell us apart!). Please note
that I am about to be run down by a crazy black lab. We love that animal though. ;)
My brother and his wifey. Also please note the black ears in the
bottom left corner. We've started referring to Addie (their dog) as
"The Blur" - she moved faster than the sleds and would try to jump on
you as you were moving downhill. She is a BIG fan of sledding. Crazy dog.
My 85 year old grandfather...racing a sled. Have I mentioned I love him?
My brother Andy and....who is that with him??
Not only does she like to chase sleds, she likes to ride on them too!
Off they sail into the sunset.
Andy's war face. His arm is reaching out to "gently" nudge
away his competitor.
Again, my 85 year old grandfather, leading the troops. Hilarious. 
The sun setting on a gorgeous day of sledding. Vermont is beautiful this time of year, haven't you heard?
Don't worry. There are plenty more photos to come!

Fall in Vermont

It's a sick day for Megs today, which always makes me homesick for my parents, and with them, the entire state of Vermont. The trees in Maryland are just about bare, with the exception of a few brilliantly colored Bradford Pears, but I'm still reveling in the beauty that is Fall in Vermont. Here are a few photos of my home-away-from-home for you to enjoy (which, don't be deceived, has already had snow...I'm just still in an Autumn-state-of-mind.).


A classic Vermont sugar shack. Ever wonder where your maple syrup comes from?


Fog across the slopes of my favorite mountain and where I used to work - Killington.

Llama Faaace!



Alpaca, to be more precise. Since I have a meeting to go to tonight, today's post will be short. I'm missing my Vermont badly lately, and this photo is one of the reasons why. Not only is Vermont stunning in the Autumn (if you're ever planning a trip, go at this point in October - it will take your breath away), but I'm always amazed by the state's use of natural resources. These alpacas were at a local farm about an hour from my parents' house - being raised for their wool. Funny, fluffy, and productive. Maybe I'll have a couple of these someday?
