On the road:
Driving up I couldn't get over the number of densely packed trees--more than the number of pedestrians at Grand Central during rush hour!
We stayed in the room of one of Melissa's stepdaughters. S enjoyed Cuddles' stuffed animals. Note the double bed we ended up all sharing the first night because S had problems sleeping in her pack and play!
At a local farmer's market--lots of yummy goodies:
Meeting some dogs:
On the way from NH to VT we stopped en route at Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory:
I rarely eat B&J's ice cream. The free sample was a reminder how delicious and creamy it is and how a little goes a long way! We had strawberry cheesecake flavor, off-limits for S as it had hoey in it (not good for babies). S tries her first ice cream (well, strawberry kiwi sorbet). She takes a bite:
She's makes a face but keeps going for more!
Instead of the traditional pre-race pasta dinner, we had a yummy Vietnamese dinner. They even had mango and sticky rice. Score!
It was nice that it was warm and bright enough to have dinner outside:
Beautiful Lake Champlain, which E got to see a lot of on the course:
Now E has two ladies to kiss when he greets his fans on the course. This is him running towards us:
I seem to have misplaced my cellphone so we designated a meeting place right by the start...unfortunately it turned out not to be right by the finish!
Visiting Dartmouth, the college I very nearly attended! E was surprised I had never been there...or Wheaton for that matter (before orientation).
Our last stop in Hanover was Nathan's Garden. A local family made public part of their backyard after their son passed away. We even met the mother while we were enjoying some of the flowers there. What a great gift/memorial!
