What do you suppose they were going to do?
 |
| Waiting for their plane to come in! |
Maddie and Betty were along for the ride-
Two baby bunnies were waiting for them to their surprise!
 |
| Betty and Maddie have new friends! Courtesy of Andy and Jeff! |
Vermont's congressman was spotted greeting his constituents -
At the farmer's market on a nice Saturday - it surely makes sense.
 |
| Nice morning to visit the Farmers Market! |
Visited the Lake Elmore 'beauty spot' -
Do they call 911 there? Apparently not a lot!
 |
| Vermont has lovely scenery!! |
Took a gondola ride up to Jay's Peak
Skiing down that sucker isn't for the weak!
 |
| The gondola went up-up-UP! |
Once at the top the Rabbits DID appreciate the scenery -
Since it was Fall there was a lot less greenery!
 |
| STUR and STEB - appreciating the scenery!! |
 |
| Really LOVELY scenery! |
 |
| Warning: Don't ski alone!!! |
STEB got a kick out of the name Rabbit Trail for a bunny slope
Since it's a green circle that means easy at least one would hope!
 |
| Rabbit Trail? The perfect name for a bunny slope! |
Jays peak resort boasts an amazing water park;
La Chute the red water slide is not for the faint of heart!
Took a gander on the shores of beautiful Lake Memphremagog -
Two Rabbits will swim there next summer- stay tuned to this blog.
 |
| STUR, checking out the scene of the 2017 epic swim! |
Got a peek at the Canada/USA border line
The Rabbits won't need a passport this time!
 |
| Crazy how close to the border you were! |
Carbo loading took place at the restaurant Sarducci's -
Guess we don't want those extra beers, if you please!
 |
| Pre-race selfie? Check! |
Next morning they took a pre-race selfie in the school gym -
Got to keep nice and warm for the win!
 |
| So nice to hang out in a warm gym pre-race! |
They ran away from Folsom but they didn't have the blues
It was a beautiful day for the Green Mountain Half, that's some good news!
 |
| Outside and ready to run! And getting photo bombed!! |
As the race starts out on this nice out and back -
You see bird houses and dinosaurs together - that is whack!
 |
| Can you spot the dinosaurs? The birdhouses went on and on! |
But if you looked to your left there's quite the view -
You're looking at Plattsburg, New York - who knew?!
 |
| Lovely view across the lake! And so close to Lake Placid! |
On the course a runner told STEB a joke to pass the time:
“What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards? A receding hare line!”
Crossing the finish line for 8:02 Timing was nice of course
It’s neat how their name is the area code source!
 |
| STUR headed to the finish! |
STEB finally got to check Vermont off of her 'list'
She's slowly working through all 50 states; that's the jist!
Took a scenic drive through Smuggler’s Notch - the road was narrowing...
Saw some cyclists going up AND down - it looked very harrowing!
 |
| Smuggler's Notch had a crazy steep face! The pictures don't do it justice! Don't drive through here in an RV, bus, or tractor trailer |
After this they headed over to Ben & Jerry's -
Even though the traffic there was kind of scary!
 |
| Ice cream-check! Right from the source! |
Once there, there was a line, but it wasn't too bad -
And there were so many ice cream choices to be had!
Later that night they had to go two towns over for Positive Pie -
The one in town had a two hour wait, that's the reason why!
STUR got her Brussels sprouts and tried a new beer:
It was called Chasing Rabbits and they toasted a successful race - cheers!
 |
| This could be the official beer of Team Rabbit! |
There were lots of fun quotes on the table tops
STEB liked the Kevin James' one - it rocked!
 |
| STEB loves pizza... |
Monday morning STEB and STUR headed into town -
They needed caffeine - they were going to look around.
But at first they were approached by a stranger
Her name was Mary Alice and they weren't in any danger!
After seeing STEB's Ironman jacket she wanted some info -
Funneled us over to her restaurant Down Home don't you know?
Offered us caffeinated beverages for our time -
Happy to share their knowledge and it didn't cost a dime!
After the caffeine fix it was bagels at Bagitos
And maybe there was a yummy chocolate chip cookie, you know?
Had a late lunch at the Three Penny Taproom of good burgers and fries
The Rookie's Root Beer was also good, too, the rabbits surmise!
They both got shirts that say I L💗 VERMONTPELIER -
Always amazing how much there is to do and see here.
 |
| Vermont really is amazing! |
Andy and Jeff were their amazing weekend hosts -
A bountiful amount of Vermont knowledge they do boast!
Meanwhile over in the 3-1-2
CBun had something else to do-
"Just" a little race called the Chicago Marathon...
She took lots of scenic pictures as she hopped along!
 |
| CBun is ready to roll! |
It was a beautiful day for her as well
Enjoyed a beer after and that was swell!
 |
| Marathon-check! Beer- check!! |
