I flew to Burlington, VT this March to visit one of my closest friends, Jess. When I exited the airport in Vermont, the rush of cold air nearly killed me. I thought maybe I had mistakenly boarded a plane to Antarctica! There is one thing I don't miss about New England - that's definitely the weather. Thankfully I packed some thick sweaters and Jess put up with my whining :)Jess and I took photos @ Lake Champlain, walked the mall, checked out the stores in the downtown area and had some local Vermont beer. I even had one of my faves - Magic Hat #9 - which is actually really expensive in Oregon compared to Vermont. After our day of retail therapy, Jess took me to experience her new hobby - archery! I absolutely LOVED it! Major kudos to Jess for having such a badass hobby! I got an intro lesson and we had targets to shoot. I was so excited - I got a couple bullseyes too! After shooting at the targets and moving them back from 10 to 15 to 20 yards, the trainer set up a tic tac toe board with balloons. It was tons of fun. I could have stayed all day if my arms would have let me. I have a pretty good eye for it too and now she's got me thinking of buying a bow!
It was so great to visit Jess for a few days. I miss her terribly already. Check out the album on Flickr from my trip! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamers818/sets/72157629177430018/
