Harp Strings, Rock Wall, Last Day in Stowe


Harp strings and metal

Well, we had a great time yesterday for our last day in Stowe!
It was tough to choose to place a photo of an inanimate object up for my photo of the day. I sort of wanted to put up a climbing one, out of obligation, but my heart chose this one. :)
Aside - Running behind today on my updating. We took some photos with Beloved on Sunday and Justin spent a while trying to get my laptop to work with the camera.... *shakes fist angrily at Vista*

All is well in the world, except that it's almost 2 AM and I am exhausted.


More Photos - I've updated the gallery to contain only photos from the weekend in Stowe and be in chronological order - Friday through Sunday!

Justin and I had a lovely last day in VT! We woke up early, scarfed down breakfast (fruit, pastries, cream of wheat with cinnamon and craisins - and honey in mine) and headed to the fitness center for indoor rock climbing! It was awesome. I LOVE that.. although we barely made it under an hour. Our forearms were screaming after a few times up the wall. :)

We wandered around for a while and then gathered up our things. Justin checked out of the hotel and I went to my harp lesson! Woo! I love the harp - both the way it looks (I admit) and the sounds it can produce. I am so not musically inclined, having never played an instrument. Sadly, despite a couple of years of choir, I never even learned chords/how to read music. The instructer was super patient and nice and helpful. It was a good experience. Mom would be proud as I have finally done something sort of Irish - thus embracing non-German roots for a change. haha :)

It was a beautiful day as we drove back to Burlington to catch our flight. The sun was melting the snow and icicles so it really was the perfect time to depart. I still would've loved to stay and try cross-country skiing! Maybe next year. *crosses fingers*

I love the pics! Since I can't post to them (don't have an account), I thought that I would tell you that I love the picture of you in the bathroom. Very nice lighting and you are very pretty!! *kisses

Thanks Val! Thanks She! :)
Dad asked me to send that picture to his phone but I don't know how! :<
It was opportunistic - soft light, snap a pic.

I admit I am using flickr WAAAY more than Picasa lately. I am old-school and like Flickr better but stopped using them because I didn't have a "pro" account and kept going over my limit. Got a free "pro" account with my sbcglobal email address so I am back at it now!
