This past weekend, me and Trav, Abby and Shan, and Jill, Lenny, and Chase all made it up to VT to stay in a house that my parents had rented for the weekend. (We missed you Jeff and Marisa and Samantha, too...maybe next year;) It was a nice laid back weekend of everyone doing their own thing, coming and going, hiking, going to a farm, looking at houses, watching movies, watching the leaves change colors overnight, looking for lakes that are all dried up, making dinner, better even, making dessert (thank you Trav), taking first steps (beyond the standard 3), making our own Oktoberfest, arguing over movies, you know, all the standard weekend away with family kinds of things. It was a nice time! Thanks Mom and Dad for the invite...wait, were we ever even invited???
On our way home, as per my dad's suggestion, we stopped in the town of Shelburne Falls in MA where there was this great little "Bridge of Flowers" as it is called. It was formerly an old trolley bridge that crossed the river. Now it is a footbridge that is filled with all of this beautiful vegetation, even trees! and thick, twisty wisteria vines. Pretty impressive colors for mid-October! Some of the pictures are neat because of the contrast between the boldly colored flowers and the dreary day. Trav and I stopped in at a coffee shop for a couple lattes and sweets. We waited out the sudden downpour and walked back to the car in a drizzle. It was a nice little stop-off if anyone is ever in the area.
