Burlington, Vermont

When I was in public accounting I had a few clients in Burlington and it was one of my favorite places to go to. I loved the atmosphere and thought it would be a great location to go back and visit when I wasn't working.

This summer has been very busy and Pat and I found ourselves in need of some time away. We debated about where to go and my friend Mary suggested going to Vermont. It was the perfect suggestion and just the right distance away.

So, we both took off a Friday from work and headed up. Burlington didn't disappoint. They were having their annual "Festival of Fools" that weekend so there were a lot of street performers downtown to entertain us. I really enjoyed them. I was also able to go back to my favorite restaurant, Sweet Tomatoes (a must if you're in Burlington). We ate outside on Church Street since it was such a gorgeous night and it couldn't have been more perfect.

The getaway was just what we needed to recharge and Burlington is a city we'll definitely be back to visit.

Long overdue update!

Maybe I've been slightly busy...

Since I last updated we've bought a house, moved into the house and spent a week in California!

We absolutely LOVE our house. We are nowhere near unpacked yet, but I love everything about it and I look forward to being settled with no more boxes around!

We had a wonderful visit in California with Amy, Luis & Vanessa! It was so hard to say goodbye and the week seemed to fly by. We spent days in Santa Monica, Disneyland, LA & Hollywood and even an authentic ghost town of a silver mine!

On top of all that, work got a lot busier for me when one of my bosses accepted another position. So sad to see him go, but it did give my position that added little security that is nice to have in this economy.

Here are just a couple pictures, I need to upload the rest:
