Ok, so I know it's been a while since my last post.....again. But I have been taking pictures of the exciting stuff so there will be a few places to click for pictures in this post. Starting with our trip to Camp this year (Daniela has more on her camera, so those will be added later). We went up for the first Sunday, which is what these pictures are from, then we came back up the following Wednesday. It was Daniela's first time up to Camp and I think she enjoyed it, it was nice just to get away and relax for a while, and she got to go on a couple boat rides....thank you Marcia! Check out the pictures from Camp by clicking on the picture above.
Next we went up to visit Chris and Katie and the fam in VT. We had a blast up there. We went up the long Labor Day weekend. The kids warmed up quickly, well Tyler more than Anna, but she came around eventually. We took a lot of pictures up there, it was a beautiful weekend. We got up there Saturday afternoon and hung out and enjoyed the nice weather. Sunday we took a tour of downtown Burlington and checked out a couple of the other local sites. Chris and Katie were able to get a sitter for the evening, and the four of us went out to dinner. It was a nice little place with pretty good food, but we all had a great time. Monday morning they took us to check out Cold Hollow Farm (I had never been there either). So we got some cider, donuts and a couple other things up there. Unfortunately the little wine tasting part wasn't open yet, so we didn't get to try any of that stuff. Then we all went to the Cabot store and ate some cheese....mmmm yummy. Chris and Katie had to get the kids back for lunch and their naps, so we had to part ways then, but our VT fun wasn't over yet. After we said our goodbyes, Daniela and I continued down into Stowe and went up to the Von Trapp Family Lodge...nice place, but not too much to see up there. Then we went to the Ben and Jerry's factory, unfortunately, they were not making ice cream that day. We still went on the tour and took some pictures. Click HERE for VT pics.
THEN...a couple weekends ago we went apple picking with the rest of the Walker clan, I'm sure some of you saw Brett's blog and already got a good idea of what to expect from Demerrit Farms. I didn't think it was THAT bad. It was busy, and a little expensive, and I guess the people weren't that friendly to my mom, but I missed that part. But it was fun, we got outside and walked around, trying to find the good apples that were left on the trees, but they were pretty bare. Click HERE for apple picking pictures.
Last but not least....Daniela and I went with her sister and her boyfriend to the U2 concert that was at Gilette a couple weeks ago. I'll admit, I like U2, but I wouldn't think to go to a concert, but I would DEFINITELY go see them again. They played all their good old stuff, and some new stuff too. But it was a great show!

Ok, there is other news too, but no pictures. For those that don't know, I got a new job at Mass General Hospital as a Data Manager. It will be a lot of computer work, and not as hands on as my job at EnviroVantage, but I'm sure I will be much happier. The first week went well, orientation for two days and then a lot of reading to catch up on the study that I will be working on, but within the next couple of weeks, I think it will be picking up and I will be off and running on my own....for the most part. We also got a new car, since we are both commuting down to Boston on a daily basis, it made more sense. I traded in the truck and we both agreed on the 2010 Subaru Legacy....all wheel drive, automatic, and it gets A LOT better MPG's than the Tundra did....but it was bittersweet. But the Legacy is comfortable and we both love it, so we are happy :) I'll try to update more often, but I make no promises....just be patient! I hope everyone is doing well.
