vermont...

ok...so i knew vermont was beautiful and scenic but i still wasn't positive as to how i would feel about it...not sure if you can understand but i will try to explain...sometimes when you go somewhere it just feels like home as if you are supposed to be there...you are so comfortable in your skin and it just feels right...up to this point bonaire is the only place i have had that feeling...like the island is just part of me...well i feel that same way here in vermont...i am in awe of the beauty around me...it is such a great feeling being here...let me back up

when i last left you we were just rolling into town about 1:30am...seth (dom's friend) was waiting up for us...we finished off the beers he had, moved on to the actually pretty good boxed wine after this i stuck to water while dom and seth polished off a bottle of purple champange...we finally went to be around 5am...only to wake up about 5 hours later...

dom and i took a stroll into town...this being the first time i had seen it in daylight...very cute and welcoming...we had a great BLT at the bakery before taking a walk around town with seth and isadora (his little 2 1/2 year old daughter)...we had a great time looking for mud...(isadora decided to wear her mud boots hence the search for mud)...

the afternoon wore on and seth and dominic started their games of horseshoes...close match...jen (seth's wife) and i played with isadora and bob (the mutt rescued from conn.)

it was a great relaxing first day in vermont...

day 2 led dominic and i on an adventure...we went on a hike up the mountain behind seth and jen's place...it was a beautiful hike...(we have both discovered that we are out of shape being as our legs were shaking on the way down)...the hike led us up to a ledge where on a clear day we have been told you can see a long way..it was hazy today...but the view was amazing...(pics will follow once dom shows me how to do it)

we split a great pizza and took a nap...finished the day up with dinner at the bobcat...the local bar/restuarant...jen works there on the weekends...fun atmosphere and good food...the beer is mainly local so very good as well...

right now as i sit here catching you up on the latest...jen is putting isadora and baby bug (isa's baby) down to sleep and seth and dom are tied a game a piece from horseshoes today and are playing the tie breaker while finishing the high lifes off...

we are off for maine tomorrow for the lobster fest...hope the rain holds off and that i like lobster...haaaaaaaaaa
