Last weekend Ken and I decided to take a ride up to Vermont to visit with my littlest littles, although they are not so little any longer. Normally we would stay overnight at my daughter Ashley’s house, but with their guest room having been transformed into an office for my son in law’s new job, we decided to spend the night in Montpelier Vermont. How beautiful is their Capital Building! (more about Montpelier in a minute)
I was so excited to spend time with these 2 little cuties. Goodness they are both getting so darn big!! Ken spent a lot of time playing games with the kids in their play area and then we headed down to their back yard field to have Cullen show us his new soccer skills.
It was such a nice day and so wonderful to spend with them all in this beautiful place that they call home.
After a good night’s sleep we headed over to downtown Montpelier. The architecture in this city is nothing short of stunning. I wish that I had snapped off a few pictures of the old grand homes with beautiful ornate corbels and colorful paint.
Sadly so many of the homes that we saw were looking very run down and faded, but the beauty of the homes still shone through.
Overall I absolutely LOVED the vibe in this city. Full of artisan shops, great little eateries and this bar that made me laugh out loud!
Of course I did wander into a little fabric/yarn shop called Notion Fabric and Craft and maybe a few small pieces of fabric came home with me, along with a little bottle of perfume that I picked up in another small shop.
All in all it was a very good weekend!
