Off to Vermont and Back

We just returned from Quechee Gorge, VT. What a lovely area. We had a wonderful time. Originally, our motivation was to get another state on our state of maps visited with the RV. You know the kind - colored stickers that you can add to the blank map of the US or Canada. We decided that we would include a state if the RV had passed through it, even if we did not overnight there. We have most of the east coast. But, VT and ME were not filled in. So, with that goal in mind, I made reservations for the Quechee Gorge Balloon Festival that was held last weekend.

We got our state - but we had such a great time. Loved the balloon festival. They are such beautiful aircraft - and they just seem to glide into the sky with such grace and beauty. The weather was mostly perfect for it, too. A bit of rain, that cancelled one ascension, but overall a very nice and pretty weekend.

We are like fiends - like kids in a candy store with no limits - during ascensions. We both have cameras and we take pictures upon pictures upon pictures. Over 400 for this weekend. But, the beauty and the grace of the balloons is just captivating.
I will post a few pictures here. Soon they will be in the album. But, we have to weed through them. We take a lot of pictures, but not all of them are presentable!!

We are already talking of going next year. Tho goal next year will not be the aquisition of a state, maybe we can get some friends to be as "devoted" to balloon festivals as we are!!

How Time Flies

It is already June - Can you believe it. JUNE!! Memorial Day is a memory and it has been over 2 months since we returned from Florida. Feels like a life time. We have been travelling a bit. The first weekend of May we went to a local state Park with a group of RVers. Had a great time, but the weather was less than co-operative. Cold, wet and rainy all weekend.

Over Memorial Day weekend, we went to a family wedding in nearby Massachusetts. We took the RV and parked it in my sister-in-law's yard. We had a great time and it was one of the best Rv sites we have had!!

This weekend we travelled to nearby CT to attend a Tri-State Rally - RVers from Massachusets, Connecticut and Rhode Island got together to do what RVers do - meet new friends, see old friends, eat, talk about where we have been, eat, talk about where we are going, eat, talk so more. And we did this for 3 days!! We had a great time.

We are home for only a few days and we will be off to a Cajun Music Festival and a campground in nearby CT. This will be our second year and we are looking forward to it. Always good food, good music and good times.

My resolution for the upcoming trips is to post a bit more I have been very bad lately. My excuse is that we haven't travelled much. But, I will try to be better - sharing our moments down the road.

Talk to you soon...
