Vacation Recap

I got back from vacation Sunday evening, but have been so busy I haven't had a chance to update about the trip. I'm already back to the weekly routine: Wood Ranch, Song, Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society meetings, Hospital Volunteer Training, and hopefully seeing friends and family in between. Also, song camp is this weekend. So, I will be in Palm Springs with all my girls and my favorite Eagle coaches Friday-Sunday.

Now, back to last week. Mom, Christine, and I left Saturday morning for Boston. We arrived that evening and spent a few days with 2nd cousin Kristof and the rest of the Mar clan. Boston is incredible. There is so much history and sites to see. I wish we could have had more than just a few days there to see more of the city. One of the most exciting parts of our time in Boston was when we went on a tour of Fenway Stadium. Just after we went to get coffee before the tour, it started pouring. We didn't have time to wait for the rain to pass and had to dash through the rain to get back to the tour. We were soaked. It was all part of the experience!

On Tuesday night, we took the train from Boston to Portland, Maine. We stayed with my mom's cousin Ann for 2 nights. The first night we stayed with her in Portland and the second night we stayed in her condo up in Sugarloaf Ski Resort. I was really hoping we would see some moose while we were there, but unfortunately they didn't come out while we were up there.

On Thursday, we made the long drive from Sugarloaf, Maine to Stowe, Vermont where the family reunion took place. For the next few days we went to the Ben and Jerry's factory, shopping in Montpelier, slid down an alpine slide, rode a gondola to the top of the mountain, and had a family dinner with all 50 or 60 relatives that were there. It was a wonderful vacation and went by way too quickly.

Now, it's back to reality. I'm going to a PTK meeting this afternoon, then song practice right after that. Finally seeing my best friend for a little run/walk around the lake tonight. Possibly going to Disneyland tomorrow, then getting ready for camp on Friday. Adios!
