I didn't mean to fall off the face of the earth like that! I have been pretty busy. We spent spring break in Vermont. My husband and I had not been there before. Who would have thought. Only six hours away from the city! We love it. It was crazy weather. I was sunny and 65 but there was still snow on the ground. People were skiing in shorts! I remember getting out of the car the first night we were there and saying "I can smell nature". Something I don't get a lot of in Brooklyn. I makes me appreciate it so much more.
It was nice to be able to let my kids play in safe dirt. To sit outside and hear birds without cars and city noises.
To play in the snow without a coat on.
A favorite for my girls? Of course, The Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Museum.
We payed our respects to all the flavors that "didn't make it". I looked for an old friend, Kaberry Kaboom. You know, the one with Pop Rocks in it. She was now where to be found.
What do you do in a car for a total of 12 hours with your kids? Knit one of these. It's Vermont, everybody knits. It's made of a beautiful grey wool. I used big fat needles and did a simple garter stitch. So that I would not have to look while I was knitting.
How fun! I love the Ben & Jerry factory... mainly for the free samples.
Did you know my husband is from VT? It is so lovely there but I could never move up there. Winter is much too long for me.
I am so jealous that you can knit while riding in a car. If I try to do ANYTHING besides watch the road I barf. It's awesome.
