Vermont Photo Diary

Vermont is a very special place to me. Though it’s not where I grew up, my parent’s house in Woodstock, VT feels like home. Drinks by the fire, my dog at my feet, always a meal on the stove. It’s a place where I sleep better, feel healthier and breathe better. Working a full-time job means that weekend getaways are usually as tiring and they are relaxing. Sleeping 5 hours, going on a 2 hour snowshoe, hitting the sauna. Spending the afternoon tracing my fingers over vintage items at the antique mall. Learning how to shoot a gun, teaching Chloe how to drive manual, followed by cocktails and burgers. Vermont is just so peaceful and serene. My lungs felt better after spending time outside, hiking around the national park in my parent’s backyard. Here are some snapshots from my short, sweet, and wonderful weekend!

Fairyland

I'm up in Vermont and it is truly a winter wonderland, or as Ella has named it Fairyland. While the holidays have been pretty calm for the most part, it is still nice to get away for a bit of R&R. Vermont means walking through the woods, enjoying all things quaint, and lots of sitting in front of the fire. I find myself walking around, almost in a daze. I can't tell if it's over-stimulation from all the things I love in one place or if I'm just tired. It's so picture perfect, that I feel like my camera is permanently attached to my hand.
