29:20

Check out the updated state map - we are at 29 now!  You've seen a couple of our pictures from our most recent trip and there are hundreds more waiting in the wings. Here are a few more teasers...
Buoys hanging from a street sign.
Sunset over Lake Champlain before the fireworks.

One of the many waterfalls of our trip.

No trip to Vermont is complete without a stop at the original Ben and Jerry's factory.  We had a "free" sample at the end of our tour of the new flavor, "Milk & Cookies" and then couldn't help but buy a treat before we left as well.

  
So what do you think - did I eat a lot of ice cream on the factory tour or is there a baby in there? 

While we did share seconds on the free sample at the end of the tour, it's true that bump is a baby bump.

We're having a baby!

This week I'm 20 weeks pregnant (this picture is about a month old). 20 weeks, which means we are "Half Baked"- which happens to be another Ben and Jerry's flavor I want to taste test.  There's plenty of time before the baby comes to try it out!  I dealt with morning sickness throughout the first trimester and the beginning of the second trimester, but I'm feeling human again.  I guess human isn't the right word since I now feel like I have a little frog jumping around in my belly. :) Our doctor vists have all gone well, and we've been fortunate to see the baby at three different ultrasounds.  We got quite the acrobatic show the last ultrasound at 18 weeks.  Now for the answer to the million dollar question - not so fast.  It's a surprise!  But, you can find out in mid to late December.

So what about him??  He just ate too much ice cream!

Somethings never change...

My sister and I are on vacation together in Helen, GA.  Wait till I have some pictures to show you this little Alpine village tucked in Northern GA.

Anyway - somethings never change.

Last night at dinner, I laughed so hard and so long I almost wet my pants.  My sister was absoultely no help because everytime I looked at her I would start all over again.  We had decided to get some potato pancakes for an appetizer and share a wurst sampler for dinner.  The laughing all started because I asked the waitress what type of wurst was what to which she replied "That's sausage, that's pork, and that's pork."  I'm laughing uncontrollably now again... I couldn't even ask the question again to clarify.  I thought she might also help me figure out the mashed potatoes from the sauerkraut, but I couldn't ask through the giggles.  I'm still not sure which one I liked the best - Bratwurst, Knockwurst or Baurenwurst......  I don't even remember which was pork and which was sausage.

So after reading this story, you may not be laughing so hard you are going to lose it like I was/am - but is your sister in the room?  Go get her and maybe (if you are lucky) you'll laugh your head off at something this silly.  If you don't have a sister - a best friend would probably do.  I'd highly recommend trying it because - man, it felt good.

Back to the vacation -- today we had a fun day driving around the local area, wandering in and out of shops, and finding tasty things to eat.

I don't have any pictures because we don't have a card reader with us.  I'm sure I'll have a few to share when we get home.  Even one of the unidentified wursts!


Since I don't have a new picture, here we are 20 years ago in Disney....















If only we still had the sunglasses - I'm sure that would start another laughing fit.

Beware of camera nerds....


Yes, we took pictures of eachother taking pictures at the same time.

Notice I opted for the safer rocks near land, while he's out exploring the rocks on the edge.
