Love Vermont
Trip began in New Jersey where we connected with my brother's family for an overnight in Toms River. Wonderful afternoon on the beach and great seeing everyone.

The weather is always like this in Vermont (just kidding) and people are just fabulous (yes, fabulous)... Traveled from New York to Vermont via ferry, Lake Champlain is just beautiful.
 |
As we approach the Vermont side, a sister ferry sets out for New York state. |
Time in Vermont includes family. These pictures are for Lauren and the family.

The latest addition to the family, a gift to us all.. |

We returned from Eastern Canada a few days early to attend a "mass christening". Our two nieces, Sarah & Allie (and their husbands) along with two other couples (their very good friends) shared this special moment with family and friends in Colchester. The baptism was performed by a family friend, Father Timothy.
