On the Road Again

This past weekend with Kevin, Missy, Cory, and Emily Bonning was relaxing to say the least. Kevin and Missy are great hosts ... food and fellowship. Both Sonja and I cherished the time we spent together.

The girls played very well with both Cory and Emily the entire weekend. All were sad to say goodbye. They are already looking forward to the next time we can be together.

The Bonnings took us up through Smugglers Notch and into Stowe. If you aren't familiar with those places then you probably don't ski. There is a story behind Stowe though ... over 10 years ago Kevin and Missy took Sonja and I to Stowe ... at night ... to downhill ski ... it was our first time! Sonja and Missy gave up after it took us nearly 3 hours to get down the hill ... the first time. I had watched the ski instructors go by enough that I had picked up enough to try again.

When we left Vermont this morning I decided to head down 87 past Albany through towns like Saratoga,NY ... Catskill,NY ... Parsippany,NJ ... Bethlehem,PA ... Allentown,PA. Towns I had never been in. I can tell you though that towing the ROO is much less mentally challenging on back roads going 50/55mph. Sometimes ya gotta take the highway, but the road less traveled is something to look forward to.

Until next time ... check out our trip to Smugglers Notch/Stowe.
