Middlebury, Vermont

Our trip to Middlebury was so much fun and, like all great trips, went by way too fast!
Lake Champlain ... literally in the backyard of the rental house
A rare, happy moment in the car
Our scenic drive from the house to Middlebury
At the Storm Cafe for lunch on Friday
Catherine showing us her dorm room
Another dorm room picture.  My dad's soaking wet rain jacket is representative of the weather we had for most of the trip 
Snuggling with Grandpa in the morning
It may not be SEC football, but you can't beat the view from the bleachers!!
Sadly, the Middlebury Panthers lost to arch rival Williams 
Ski lift at the Middlebury College Snow Bowl
Mom and Charlotte stayed at the ski lodge while the rest of us rode the lift ... little did we know what an adventure that would be.  It was a chilly day and the skies looked ominous, but Mom assured me that it was not going to rain.  Just before we got to the top of the mountain, it began to sprinkle ... that sprinkle turned into hard rain ... the rain turned into hail.  It was a LONG ride back down soaking wet and freezing!  At least we decided not to take Charlotte with us ...
Warming up by the fire
Charlotte stayed warm and toasty in her Patagonia baby bunting
We woke up early on Sunday morning to go to a quidditch tournament at Middlebury

This dorm is one of my favorite buildings on campus

  1. Is Charlotte sporting some Uggs in the first photo? So stylish.
    Looks like you all had a great trip despite the rain.
