Back To School

Sorry that it has been so long since I last posted, but I've been busy moving back into school and getting my room organized. Anyway, I left off with the last week of my vacation when I went to Woodstock, VT with my parents, Brent, and Brent's parents. We all stayed at The Woodstock Inn which is one of my favorite places. My family on my dad's side has been going there since the 30s or something and we're not about to break tradition.

Here are a few things around Woodstock, VT.

The library:

Some cool building:

Brent hiding:

Brent liked this door at the local art gallery:

To keep occupied, my parents, Brent, and I went to the Simon Pearce glass factory where we got to watch glass blowers:

Brent and I went somewhere below the glass blowing floor to check out the hydroelectric generator... because I'm a huge dork and asked if we could:

I have no idea:

Waterfall outside:

Video so that you can see it better:

What would a trip to Vermont be without a covered bridge?

Me by the waterfall:

Brent by the waterfall:

Well:

We thought this house was cool, it looks over the waterfall:

Brent and me (trying to take it ourselves):

And with a little help:

Mom and Dad:

Clearly, it's Brent's job to take unflattering pictures of me (I think I was looking at the lamp above me):

Brent:

Some other house we liked:

Brent and I went to a local bookstore later that night where we saw this beautiful black cat named Mr. B:

That night, we had dinner at Bentley's, our usual spot, where I had maple mustard chicken and Brent and I split the most gigantic brownie sundae ever. Back at the inn, Brent taught me how to play chess and then we all went to bed because we had an early morning the next day. Brent, my dad, and I went to Killington to ski for the day where we had a lot of snow (something we haven't had much of this year in CT):

Brent fell asleep on the way back to the inn:

There's probably more to say but I've gotten behind, yet again, so I'm going to end this here. Needless to say, we had a very nice weekend with a good day of skiing. Goodnight everyone!
