NJ & VT

This past week we headed up, up, up the East Coast, spending a few days in good old NJ, and the rest of the week in VT.  In both places we were surrounded by beautiful people, and the beauty of nature. From the beach to the mountains, lakes, pizza, and french fries, a great time was had by all.
Our first stop in NJ lent itself to time with friends (Krutzel/Bieder), a trip to the beach and boardwalk, and some delicious food.  We then picked up Jacob from the train station and headed up to VT with the Ambalus.  VT is so beautiful and peaceful.  We hiked, picked blueberries, swam in quarries, ponds, and lakes, did the Alpine Slide atop Bromley, and got the top of Mt. Equinox!  Everywhere you look in VT there are beautiful blue skies with fluffy clouds, and giant green mountains.
Hersh and AlteLu had a great time with the other kids, and they loved VT!  Hiking and blueberry picking were both hits, and adventuring in general is up their ally.  AlteLu has taken to saying that things are, "cuuuuute," and she has definitely caught on to that her birthday is just around the corner!  We cant believe our little lady will be 2!  Hersh is getting better at reading, and is a Lego wiz.  He is smart, good natured, and silly.  Kindergarten is definitely on the brain!
