Vermont

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to visit Vermont. I'm not sure why exactly, but the state has always been on my list of places to visit. Well 2 weeks ago we got the chance to go out there. Brian's sister Missy and her family live out there so for Brian's fall break we decided to go visit them. We loved being able to spend a week with their family while enjoying the beautiful state of Vermont.

I can not take credit for this beautiful shot to the left. Chase's sister Marci took this picture just before we left Joseph Smith's birth place. I think that it is absolutely beautiful.


While we were there Missy and Chase blessed their new baby girl Contessa. We are so glad that we were able to be there for her blessing. Chase's parents and his sister Marci and her family were also able to fly out for the blessing. Here is a picture of the whole clan that was there.

Funnest kid ever!! Really! Enoch is a blast to be around. His energy can be exhausting at times.

Beautiful Tessa


After the blessing and some delicious lunch we drove to Sharon, Vermont where a monument stands for Joseph Smith's birth place. It was a really pretty place.


The next day we had breakfast at the Shelburne Inn located on Shelburne Farms. This place was beautiful. Here is a shot with Lake Champlain in the background.

Here is the Inn with everyone posing... I mean relaxing in front of it.

Here are some pictures of the gardens they had outside the Inn.

Here is Brian. I think he is trying to connect or reconnect with nature. :)

Another gorgeous view. I really can not get over how beautiful with place was.

The next day we drove to Stowe, Vermont where the Ben & Jerry's factory is.

They had a graveyard for flavors of ice cream they no longer use.

While in Stowe we also went to a cider mill where we got to sample cidar. It was yummy of course.

The next day we decided to take a trip up to Montreal. It was definitely an adventure we weren't prepared for but we had a good time together. :) Here are some photos of our trip.

Montreal was a neat city. Busy and crowded, but neat. I'm glad we got the chance to drive up there and see a little bit of the city.

The next day we flew home on the 6am flight and got back to SLC just after Noon. It was nice getting back that early but we were exhausted. After we picked up Stu from Grandma's house and ran some errands we went home to take a nap. We layed down at 4pm with full intentions of getting up at 6pm. When we woke up at 10pm we realized we had over shot our goal of 6pm by quite a bit. Oh the joys of traveling!!
