Spring Break Vermont-style!

So I thought I should share about Spring Break when the big boys flew up to visit us. Most high school/ college age kids head to warm destinations, but not our boys! They came up just in time for Winter Storm Stella to drop the 2nd largest record snowfall in Vermont's recorded history! Between Tuesday and Wednesday we got around 25-30 inches of snow in the area! So we stayed inside some, but in typical Vermont fashion the roads were cleared and we were out again in a couple of days. We took our first ferry ride as a family across Lake Champlain (Grand Isle, VT to Plattsburgh, NY), the big boys stood out on the frozen lake, and we visited Plattsburgh (Five Guys Burgers and Sam's), then drove down to Essex, NY to take the ferry back over to Charlotte, VT. We also played Mexican Train Dominoes and watched movies together. It was a good time together. It was hard to let the boys go back to Tennessee, but school needed to be finished.
