Hi friends! We are still on vacation in my son’s in-law addition to his beautiful ski chalet in the mountains of Vermont.
We are so sore from skiing, snowshoeing, and walking around the adorable upscale town in Stowe, Vermont. I only wish I felt comfortable enough to shop in the gorgeous boutiques, but we are playing it safe.
It’s Friday, my favorite day, so hubs made me a martini from the loaded bar in our little home away from home. I made some appetizers in our adorable kitchen.
Hubs should be home soon with dinner. We ordered from one of the many terrific restaurants in our little town. We decided to try their fish tacos and shrimp tacos along with several sides.
We will definitely return to our home in Connecticut next week. When? Not sure. Our son specified that we can stay here as long as we want. I do have an appointment for my first covid vaccine and don’t want to miss that!
Sorry if I missed some of your discussions and notifications. Vacations will do that.

I don't carry my phone out in the snow. It's too precious to me, but I do have a ton of photos of my son's place. Unfortunately, he didn't give me permission to use them on myLot. When we return, I will let him decide what I can show if anything.

Enjoy vacation! I'm happy you're having fun. I don't like being cold and wet, otherwise skiing, etc sound fun.
I'm so happy for you, getting the Covid vaccine

@Michellekidwell Thanks so much Michelle. We are extremely safe up here and having a ball. Hubs said that we should never return to CT.

We are as safe here as we would be if we had stayed home. We are staying in an in-law addition to our younger son's ski chalet. It's isolated on a mountain without a soul in sight and oodles of land just for us. Our son isn't with us. Should return home sometime next week unless I break something skiing.

@DianneN Enjoy as long as you stay, I had no doubt that Friday will not be 'celebrated' wherever you are

Thanks and you are right! It's safe here and gorgeous! We've been skiing and snowshoeing every day. I'll bet you never thought that you'd hear me say that I enjoy snow so much!
We rent the equipment, because we hope to have fins on our feet next year.

@DocAndersen Our paths have been very empty. We had the mountains all to ourselves. It was terrific!

@DianneN old powder wouldn't be as much fun! I prefer the Robert Frost model, i like to take the path less traveled
