We are home after a wonderful vacation

We arrived home yesterday late afternoon from this year's vacation.  It's all too much to write about with one post, but I'll start with a few things and then hit more later.  We had six absolutely wonderful days away, and I never failed to be grateful for how much time we had together, and how blessed our lives are!

We left Saturday morning, and we all really enjoyed the trip in our new (to us) vehicle.  I was concerned it would be too small to travel comfortably, but that was not the case at all!  We were also thrilled with the gas mileage we were able to get.  The first day we made it to the upstate New York.  Most of the drive was cloudy, and it rained the later it got in the day.  We had no intention of arriving in Vermont to visit family until Sunday, so we knew we were staying over.  We didn't make any reservations because we weren't certain when we would want to stop.  I began to become a little concerned because rural New York is VERY rural.  We came to a college town and I felt very grateful that we were able to find a motel room.  It was nearly 9:00 before we ate pizza for dinner that night, but we ate our full, and everyone tumbled into bed for a good night sleep.  We took advantage of the motel breakfast in the morning before finishing our drive to family.  It was about another three hours, and in bright sunshine, rural upstate New York was absolutely picturesque.  We arrived at our family early afternoon, and they took us to their island.  Yep, we spent three days on an island in the middle of Lake Champlain, and it could not have been more relaxing!  That however, will be another post!
