Montreal Canada

Hen and I decided to do a day trip to Canada so we drove to Old Montreal in the city. We had a great lunch with live music outside and walked the cobblestone streets. It was a lovely overcast day.

Joseph Smith Birthplace in Vermont
































Vermont Teddy Bear Company

It was an overcast day so Hen and I decided to take the Essex Ferry over to Vermont for some sight seeing. On our way to Burlington, VT we stopped at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. We saw this bear called the big hunka love bear that stood 6' tall! So Hen had them ship it home. Then we headed into Burlington and bought me some fun new earrings from one of the cute shops there. After that we headed on another 2 hour drive to the birthplace of Joseph Smith. We ended up leaving there later than we intended and literally had seconds only to spare when we raced back to board the last Ferry back to New York that left at 9pm. I don't think I have ever cut it that close in my life!

Lake Champlain

Driving there takes about 4 hours


View of the lake from the Lake House










You can't go to the lake without stopping by the Sportman's Diner for some breakfast!


And Ethel's Dew Drop Inn for some Ice Cream (Nightly!)

Hen's old Avon Ward

On Sunday we attended Hen's old ward in Connecticut. As a side note when I visited my sister in Illinois, her husband Cole was going through my Facebook posts to determine if I was breaking any Facebook rules and he came across this picture and was like "What's this picture? It could be any LDS church…..lol" So I guess these pictures didn't quite pass the mustard :)
