road trip: shelburne, vt

irene thankfully didn't affect my plans
to head north
for a week
of canning and catching up
with my dear friend, amanda
...
i woke early monday morning
and hit the road
nellie in tow

Photobucket
calm after the storm, indeed!
(taken through the windshield)
the cloud formations in the brilliant blue sky were just phenomenal
...
arriving
<span class=
felt like a homecoming of sorts
i have such found memories
of amanda's family's farm...
high school long winter weekends
summers swimming in the pool
playing dressing up from an attic full of 60 + 70's finest
all with a lake view...
<span class=

we brought the dogs for a romp and swim
<span class=

before heading over
to amanda's cousin's
for dinner
<span class=
ummm, yeah... i could come home from work to that every day!

<span class=
i followed amanda and fia around the gardens
(amanda is working on an album of fia's first two years and was snapping some final shots)

before we settled into a spectacular dinner
thanks, ave!
<span class=
with a spectaular view

<span class=
and even better company...

worth the loooong drive?
Photobucket
ummmm....
YES.

more and more and more
to come
