The Leitners and VT, a perfect combination.

At the end of July, on our last trip "out of state" before Tiz arrives, we ventured up to the Gemignani abode in beautiful Lincoln, VT.  This time we did not travel alone - we brought our good friends, Josh and Natascha Leitner and their 2 yr. old daughter, Zeneida. None of them had been to Vermont - but I think it's safe to say they all left big fans : ) After a great Saturday morning brunch with the family, Tony, Josh, Nat, Zeneida and I wandered around at the Bristol Farmer's Market, before heading to Buttonbay State Park on Lake Champlain. We played on the jungle gym(with Zen) and then took a nice trail walk down to the lake. On the way home, we drove through Vergennes and Middlebury, with a stop at the Otter Creek Brewery and the Middlebury Co-op. On Sunday my brother, Jon, came over for another great brunch and then a quintessential trip to the local watering-hole. It was a great visit with family and friends!

Natascha, Josh, Zeneida and I walking in Buttonbay State Park -
don't look at my crazy pregnant "kankles".. I was swollen all weekend!
It was a beautiful weekend - temps in the 80s!
The beach on Lake Champlain.
Lounging lakeside.
Me and Tiz taking in the gorgeous day.
The watering hole - the water was freeezing! 
But everyone still jumped right in!
The freezing temps didn't bother this little rugrat -
Zeneida, you're a true Vermonter now!
