Anniversary Weekend

Last weekend my husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a trip to Vermont.  My mother and stepfather gave us two nights in a hotel with some travel points that they had accrued, and they took the kiddos for two nights.  Sometimes I can't believe how lucky we are.

So Friday we handed the kids over and hopped in the car.  We used the Happy Cow website to hunt down a vegan restaurant in Burlington and we were so happy with the one we found.  Revolution Kitchen is a small, maybe 10 table place, with delicious, local veggie food and we loved our Friday night dinner so much we ate there again on Saturday.  Two words.  Maple.  Cake.

Saturday morning we got up bright and early and trekked up Camel's Hump mountain.  We took the Forest City trail up and Burrows down for a roughly four and a half mile round trip hike.  The day was perfect and the views were gorgeous.  I bet we only saw twenty other hikers all day, which was a refreshing change from Mount Washington, which we typically do once a year.  Climbing four hours and then waiting in line with the bus tourists for a bathroom stall is so anti-climactic.  In light of how nice it was to have some mountain time to ourselves, I think we'll change our Mount Washington plan this August and try a less popular spot.

Driving back home we were hatching schemes to move up to Vermont and I have to be honest, I've been head-in-the-clouds daydreaming about old farmhouses and giant vegetable gardens for days...
