Travel & Vacation: Sledding in Vermont
Brina got some air on that ride down!
The girls were excited to make up a trip North to Vermont this winter. They have been waiting to go sledding all winter and with us being in South Carolina we haven’t had any good sledding weather. The girls spent hours outside over the long weekend playing in the snow and sledding. We found some great places to go sledding!

Travel & Vacation: Heading Up North
Brina hanging out at the airport
Our family had the opportunity to fly up to Vermont recently to visit Jake’s Mom and grandparents. The girls were very excited to spend some time with family and to have some fun time in the snow. They did great at the airport despite the delays. Thankful for kids who travel really well (and who can sleep pretty much anywhere, even in a busy airport).

Delays at the airport so the kids are starting to crash, at least they are getting some rest

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax. Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away. Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories. It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine. Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn. You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!

Writing and drawing on tree bark. It is amazing the cool stuff you find in Vermont. As Daddy and PopPop were splitting wood these pieces of paper fell off of the tree and the girls thought they were the neatest “craft” paper.
