The drive up to Vermont was seemingly cruising along until about the last 50 miles in NY. That's when it began to drag on, seeming like it would never end. I got off the interstate in Lake George, got gas and then realized there are outlet shops there. I needed to be outta the car for a bit so I stopped by the Brooks Bros outlet.
Back in the car 30 min later I had to drive about another hour and a half to Stowe. Only when I was about 30 min from Stowe did I hit some serious snow coming down. Slowed it down and just focused on the road.
Recapping my wonderful diet yesterday: oatmeal at breakfast, coffee, 3 Red Bulls, bottle of water, 2 Snickers bars and one Clif Bar. Lovely.
I stopped off at Cold Hollow Cider Mill...craving a cider donut. They just happened to be making some fresh donuts. Yum.
After arriving and taking a nap we had dinner and then headed to a friend's place over near Montpelier. The drive down I89 to the state capital was snowy and then some. Welcome to winter in Vermont!
On the way back (after a VERY snowy drive...one lane on I89 going 30mph) we drove through Stowe village and I managed to snap some pics; I also took one of the door at my sister's.
Today we did an early Christmas with my nieces at my sister's in-laws so there's a few pics from that too. My niece Abi was thrilled to get Legos while her older sister Nadia was shocked and ecstatic to get a GoPro...wow.
It was a great first day here in Stowe. The snow is still coming down, defying whatever the weather people say and I hope it continues! This is how Christmas (and winter) should be!
Merry Christmas, Andy. Please send my most sincere regards to your family up north for me!
