So after my unexpected adventure in Newark, I told my rescuer Eric that he had an open invite in Vermont any time he wished. Lots of times, those things are never cashed in on, but apparently the urban insanity that is Newark got to be too much so Eric came up here to see some trees.
Life in VT is pretty slow paced and if you're not going skiing, there are minimal options in the winter for activities. So we ended up playing a lot of cribbage. I would like to note that for the record, I did win 5 out of 8 games, so I am technically the champion. Eric will tell you that that's negated by the fact that I got skunked. You'd think my years of training would have prevented that, but it is only the second time in my life that it's happened. And I did peg 32 points one hand with the crib.
Laura ended up lending us her car for the day on Sunday so we got out to Camel's Hump State Park for some winter hiking and then over to the Ben and Jerry's factory for some bad cow-inspired puns and free samples. Side note- we actually did see a camel! Some crazy Vermonter has apparently decided to keep one in his front yard as a pet!
All in all, it was a pretty fun weekend, especially since my ski-bro friends are always exhausted after a day on the mountain and aren't usually up for fun things. And it was nice to see someone from back home and relive the glory days a bit.

Not happy about losing. I was Scarlet Red of course.
