LOVERMONT!!!

Izzy trying to sneak in my bag before I left. We flew into New York (JFK) and then drove to New Jersey
to visit Greg's friend. Then made our way to Vermont.

My first glimpse of NYC
Time Square Hoboken, NJ - Home of the Cake Boss
I persuaded Greg to take me to Carlo's Bakery by telling him that we could buy something for breakfast there. When we got there there was a huge line of people just waiting to go in. We ended up at a little Italian bakery down the street, but I still got a picture.
Elysian Park in Hoboken, NJ
We found this park while walking around Hoboken.
It had great views of Manhattan across the Hudson River.

Slide Mountain
Catskill Mountains, NY
Greg's parents house and our rental car.
I hope no one minds all the pictures. I couldn't choose which ones to post,
because it is so hard to show how awesome their property is.
This is the huge backyard looking towards
the house from their beach.

Looking at Lake Champlain from their backyard.

Madison pouting after Greg and I went for a boat ride and didn't take her with us.

Whiteface Mountain in the Adirondacks, NY

There is an elevator built IN the mountain that you can take to the top. Or you can hike the short trail.

Greg's turn. East Mountain, VT
The top of this mountain was a former site of a United States Air Force Station. It was built in 1955 and closed in 1963.
We climbed through one of the old buildings -climbing over half doors that wouldn't open and up a ladder to the roof- to take pictures from the top.

Our last stop on our way back to NYC to catch our plane
was a drive up Equinox Mountain in VT.
