Movie Night In Vermont
After a long day of skiing, Brent and I showered, went out to dinner with our parents at Richardson's Tavern, and then came back to my family's room to rent an in-room movie. We all watched Michael Clayton which was good, but probably would have been better if I had stayed awake for the ending where everything got explained. Oh well.
Brent watching the movie:
My mom reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter, a book I got her as part of her Christmas present (it's the book that "Dexter," the TV show, is based on):
My dad watching the movie (well, the top of him at least):
Brent and Me watching the movie:
After the movie, Brent and I went downstairs to the giant fireplace to read by the fire. Well, both of us remember sitting down, but not much else. We were so exhausted, we fell asleep on the couch and woke up about a half hour later and just went to bed.
The fireplace (not a great picture, sorry):
The next morning we had to get an early start home because it was snowing all over the Northeast. Before leaving, I ran outside and got these couple of pictures. There was still some foliage in the area, so I got some red leaves against the white snow which I think came out quite well:
The rest of my pictures are all taken from the drive home from inside a moving car, so please excuse the terrible picture quality.
How can you go to Vermont and not take a picture of a covered bridge?
Horse and a barn:
Here's a little farmhouse and barn off in the distance in the snow:
It reminded me of a Stephen King short story I read over the summer from his Everything's Eventual where this traveling salesman stops somewhere in Nebraska at a little motel by a giant field in the snow with a little farmhouse off in the distance that somehow gives him hope about his dismal life:
More farms in the snow:
Snow on the drive home:
Even though it doesn't make for great driving conditions, I love driving through the snow. Maybe that's because I wasn't the one doing the driving....

i love the red trees and the snow pictures. and you missed george clooney's best line, which was obviously "i am shiva, god of death." at least i thought it was a great line.
