Why Vermont?

While Vermont would be a beautiful place to vacation simply for its beauty alone, we spent our family vacation there for a very specific reason.

Jason's parents celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary last August. In trying to decide how we might commemorate this milestone, Jason's sister, Aimee, came up with the idea to plan a family vacation to the place where Mom and Dad honeymooned. Aimee planned the trip and coordinated all the details, and at Thanksgiving, we surprised Mom and Dad with an empty photo album announcing our plan to take them back to their honeymoon spot.

That spot was southern Vermont - just a few short miles from where we rented our house for the week at the foot of Okemo Mountain.

So, as we spent the week savoring family time and exploring the area, Mom and Dad got to relive and revisit the place where they started their marriage together almost 36 years ago. And this time, they were surrounded by four of their five children (We missed you, Adam and Karla!), and six grandchildren.

Mom and Dad,

It is an honor to be your children.

Happy 35th Anniversary!
