Small space for two people…

New State :)

No, the title is not referring to the car. We decided since Vermont is known for Ben and Jerry’s (ice cream) and it’s scenery, we would combine the two.

We planned for a two hour kayak down the Lamoille River. Two hours always seems a lot longer when you are pulling your own weight across water using an oar. But we were able to see some ducks and scenery. We also managed to get stuck on the rocks numerous times, but so did the rest of our group so I felt a lot better.

After ending at the Boyden Valley Winery, we had some Ben and Jerry’s which was great.

Then we started off to Syracuse, in upstate New York…to visit Dave’s (my host dad) parents.

So what we learned is that we can spend 90+ hours in a car driving around the United States, however we cannot spend 2 hours in a Kayak together. That being said I would challenge any couple of any age to take that challenge, I want you all to spend a week and a half in a car together driving every day and not staying in any one location for more than 24 hours and then hop into a kayak and force yourself to work as a team for two hours and report back to me… I would say we performed pretty admirably ;)

Our 5 things we are thankful for today…

1) Dunkin donuts breakfast

2) Finding postcards in New Hampshire

3) Kayaking in Vermont

4) Ben and Jerry's

5) Pretty trees, lakes and mountains (on our drive to Syracuse, NY)

I forgot to mention the stop/drive through Concord, NH (New Hampshire) but the pics are below
