It is time for our annual trip to Vermont to visit with Paul's side of the family. This is really the only time we see them. While most of his immediate family lives in Virginia, the whole group congregates in Vermont (where the grandfather and his siblings grew up) for a very large extended family reunion on Saturday. There is over 100 people at the actual reunion some years.
We stay at a little hotel walking distance to Paul's grandparents home. Vermont is a beautiful state.The whole family really enjoys Nona's spaghetti. This includes my children too! Here they are last year gearing up for the synchronized eating contest! Is there an Olympic event for such a thing? ;-) Maybe there should be!
This is going to be a short trip this year. So I will be back blogging and visiting in less than a week.

Vermont is so beautiful - and it looks like you might have some nice weather! Enjoy!
I have one such old clock (circa 1900), A "Regulator" that comes from New York and that I purchased in an auction in ... Kenya. I had it repaired a few years ago and it's up and running.
I hope you have a wonderful time. What a gorgeous home!

Sherry- Yes. I am brave and suffer for fashion! ;-) But it was just a top and not pricey. It is still around and white now .. a year later.
Ooh I love Vermont! We used to vacation there when I was very little. It is beautiful there. We made it as far as NH last year. Hope you had a fun time, it is so good to be with family!
If synchronized eating is a contest I give them both a perfect 10.
Wow, what beautiful scenery. ALL of it! Enjoy every moment of that trip!
