In Minnesota

I was so thankful to go Minnesota for 5 days to be with my family for my Grandpa Al's funeral. It was so good to see some relatives I hadn't seen in years. Here are a few family photos...

Skiing Vermont

Last weekend Ben and I headed up to Vermont for a weekend of skiing and relaxing with 2 other couples. New England is such a beautiful part of the country, we loved being able to spend a long weekend up there. A few pics from the trip...


On our drive up we had to stop at the NBA Hall of Fame...Ben was in heaven.


We couldn't take a trip to Vermont and not see the Ben & Jerry's Factory...yum!


Beautiful church steeples all through New England...this one was in Stowe, Vermont.


A beautiful day on the slopes.


All of us in front of Mount Mansfield.
