On June 8th, James, Kay and I decided to go on a mini road trip to Burlington, Vermont and Lake George, New York for a couple of days. We did quite a bit of shopping, sight seeing, went to the Six Flags Great Escape, and laughed over and over again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Funny things that happened (a few memories, in no particular order):
- James locks his car keys in the car. The keys were in the ignition and the car was running...
- James loses the parking lot stub and has to ask the attendant to let us out
- Motel 6: The crack addict receptionist, the random dog walking around without a leash, the running shoe in the garbage can, the room! (cigarette burnt blanket, the door lock & security warning, the water pressure in the shower, the gremlin door)
- The Natural Stone Bridge & Caves. SO BEAUTIFUL!
- Kay's sexual gestures to make James laugh while he was on the phone with his Mom
- James panicking when talking with the border officer
- The grumpy concession stand clerk at the drive-in movie
- Kay's hyper "cracked out" moments everyday at 3:30pm
- Betty the GPS takes us on the scenic route
- Me almost falling down a parking lot hill and ramming myself into the car door
- Kay walking into a bunch of vacuums at the Olive Garden while James and I escaped as she faced the laughter of the restaurant
- The wheeled chairs at the Olive Garden! Kay to waitress: How do people eat all of this!?
- TURTLE! DEER! BLUE HERON!

Wednesday night we came home, and left 12 hours later for the second part of our road trip: Mont Tremblant!
This vacation was quite different from the first but equally as fun. We spent our time lounging around the resort, going to the pool, the hot tub, making drinks, having dinner in the village, taking TONS of pictures, straightening my hair (hahaha), and just enjoying each other's company. This vacation was so refreshing because I got the chance to take a step back from everyday life, and enjoy it. It reminded me a lot of Cuba (although we were missing 3 amazing people)...
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
Singing in the car. Cuddling up in blankets. Watching 'Seven Pounds' and crying...again. Making TONS of food. The amazing shower. Swimming in the pool. Sitting on the balcony in the comfy chairs. Looking at the stars. Laughing, oh the laughing. The quiet times. Driving in the mountains looking at dream houses. Getting dressed up and going for dinner. Pictures.
If the summer continues to be like this, I am going to be one lucky girl!
