Another Vermont Picture Post (What a surprise)

First order of business was, of course, the original Ben & Jerry's facility, which originated in Burlington, Vermont. It was awesome! These are HUGEEEEE building sized storage containers. Look at all that sugar!

The classic B&J travel van

The inside was super colorful and fun, mom and Jess entering.

Even the bathroom was ice cream fun!

There was a lot of super useful items in the gift shop...as Jess pointed out.

Then we went to a creamery and tasted all these cheeses! We like the horseradish cheddar the best. We also got tomato basil cheddar.

Downtown Burlington. We walked around and shopped a little. I got some new goggles.

We finally got to our room and this is the *night view off our balcony.

*night refering to the 430 sunset...

First real day at the Smuggler's Notch resort. We went to get ready for snowboarding but it was too warm so most of the snow was icey :( So we're going early tomorrow instead so it's cold and less packed. I'm super bummed! I want to snowboard! Instead we went to this AWESOME zip lining tree trek. It was beautiful! 

Leaning over the edge. The family that was with us hugged to the center the entire time hehe.

Jess showing off ;) I coached her to do it though!

We so cute! We had the worlds BEST snowball fight too. On our way back from the trek, we walked through this wooded trail. I noticed Alex was subtly holding a snowball by his side. This would not do! So I subtly picked one up, then Jess subtly picked one up. I chucked mine at Jess's head, she threw it at Alex and Alex tossed his way forward past the four person family and the two guides. This was his "heads up to the forward group." They all passed the awesome test  though! As soon as they saw the snow, they each leaned over, scooped up the snow, and joined the battle. I don't know if you metaphorical readers have been in a snowball fight, but trees are ideal for a snowball fight. Eet was soo fun! I'm glad because I'm no longer bitter about not snowboarding. Woo!

Woodward is redoing their street section, What?! And other news

The big street was my favorite spot to skate, but I'm so excited about new stuff! There's going to be a spine and a huge extended foam pit. And one SUPER awesome thing is a quarter pipe at the end of the resi, so no more slamin!

Woodward remodel pics

Here's a clip from Teen Titans, a flash from my childhood, her expression kills me still!

Finishing a paper the other day, I got a little frustrated...

It's time to put up the Christmas lights! Alex did the main trunk but I did all the dangerous smaller branches.

 Final effect! Merry Christmas

Alex gave Jess a ride when we went to visit a friend Aw!

Dinner time! Can you guess which one is mine? (Hint: There's red wine in some of them)

 More Festivities!

 My bird, Mellow Yellow, he's so cute, and he let me pet him. He must have been in a good mood.

 We went to Grandma's house! And looked adorable while there.

 Jess is sharing her drink with Justin. People started sharing when she pet his head.

 Then she wrote a letter to Santa.

 And sent it...

We're in Vermont on a nice vacation. There's not a lot of snow but the slopes have plenty being made and I CAN"T wait to snowboard! I haven't skated since my surgery and this is my first allowed activity. This is my sneak shot on the plane, muahahahah.

Then we went to Magic Hat Brewery (obviously not my idea...) and there was this cute dog called Cassie! She could do tricks. She has a treat on her nose in this pic and she'd toss it up and eat it! Cute dog is cute!

Bathrooms Conversations: Bathroom conversations are always awkward. Even if you think they aren’t, they are. Even if you’re positive they aren’t, there will always be a little undercurrent of discomfort coursing through the rivers of your conversation.
