Destination Entry: Back Home!

Travel Plaza Playdate = Pooped

Stella enjoyed an impromptu playdate at the NY Travel Plaza where she met, ran around, and played Boo! with Keaton who was an adorable little boy who almost shared the same bday as our little Leo but shy by 2 days. What a pleasant surprise this was for her as the road trip is growing quite old for her on this last round :)

Hey Mom, do you think these cows will want this pine cone?

Breakfast at our favorite place....can you spot Stella in this pic?

We put our pin on Lambertville, it was on this map. All the peeps that have traveled afar to eat at Eaton's Sugarhouse. Seriously look at all those pin across the world. Crazy.

Until Next Time Vermont. What a WONDERFUL time we all had!

Oh, and almost forgot.... !!

Holy Sh*t! JoAnne & I saw the HUGEST bear 40 feet from me here in VT, front yard! There's a buzzer that sounds off when a person passes by. It's 11pm, it goes off, i'm upstairs in office thinking WHY? So i look through balcony glass doors down below - in the glow of lampost just right below me there he was. He was huge! I tried to take a pic but he left the lit area, very slowly, and i didn't get the shot. Ahh!

Dinner at Sandy's where one can gorge on yummy foot long dogs, delicious coleslaw, sweet potato fries, fried clams and an ice cream menu larger than the bible.

Smiling big at JoNana across the table at Sandy's

Someone has developed a taste for ketchup - using french fries & nuggets as the avenue to get it into her mouth

Vermont MAY 2011 (Part 1 of 3)

Our drive out here was great. Stella was a gem. And the first few days rightn now here have been BEAUTIFUL. Stella is loving the 4-wheeler (don't worry peeps we are smart parents about it just go very slow and hug her very tight of course ;). She also is loving the following things: her JoNana & Grampy, the pond, the beach for sure, and the bobcat (kind of like a beefed up 4-WD golf cart that's on steroids).

Look Daddy! A Pig Across The Pond!

Mid Way Up

Stella was grunting so hard trying to pick up these rocks because she was watching her Grampy and I do this. I'm collecting rocks from the property here in VT to bring home to make a firepit. We have one already but it has some shameful ugly "rocks" in it, like big chunks of broken patio pavers - ugly!
