"Forever"

This past weekend I went with a group of friends up North to visit the great state of Vermont, and all its beauty! It really is one thing to see pictures in a magazine, and another to actually see it in person. It was gorgeous! We made it just in time for peak foliage season. It really was a perfect weekend. We stopped to explore random bridges, towns, monuments, hiking trails, ski resorts, and festivals. We also found time to watch an entire season of the Office. We traveled through eight states and the District: Virginia, DC, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Check, check!!

We had some good times in the car...maybe, just maybe, we played a few rounds of would you rather, and marry, make-out, or kill. Peter's face is pretty great in this pic.

Shandi drove us into the big apple, to pick up Kyle's favorite nyc style pizza.

Right after we picked up the pizza, we noticed a ton of people waiting outside the theater showing, Hamlet. Shandi and I both realized at the same time that people were waiting for the one and only, JUDE LAW, to exit the theater. In a matter of seconds, the boys took over driving, and we joined the other Jude fans in hopes to see the dreamy star. And YES, we did see him. Here he is driving off...

We stayed with Kyle's parents Friday night, who are currently serving a mission in MA.

Here we are checking out a fall festival in Vermont. I love the church in the background.

Fun times in the cabin...we even got to watch a romantic comedy :) If that's how they are categorizing Blood Diamond these days. I cried through the entire movie.

We had to stop for this dam picture....

We hiked up a trail in Mt. Ascutney State Park, that overlooked the valley, and into New Hampshire.

We even traveled to Brigham Young's birth place in Whitingham, Vermont. Several monuments were placed throughout the town, but this had to be my favorite,

"A Man of much courage, and Superb Equipment."

Thank you Shandi for organizing a wonderful weekend!
