Vermont!

We took our first vacation as a family of 3 last week, we went to Vermont.  We stayed in northern Vermont and had a nice, relaxing time.  Elizabeth did well in the car, and slept almost the whole way up and back home.  The weather when we got there was similar to home, but by Wednesday the temperature had dropped to the low 50s during the day.  While we were up there, we spent time in Montpelier, toured Ben and Jerry's, toured Cabot Cheese, and went to the Von Trapp Family Lodge.  Along with the tours, we ate way too much (especially maple sugar candy) and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.  We were a little late to see the fall colors in the northern part of the state, but as we drove south, the leaves were still on the trees.

Most of the trip.....

We got back from our trip on Friday night.  On Saturday morning I ran a 5k with some friends in Hoboken, called the HoBOOken run.  We dressed up for Halloween, along with many other runners.  It was beautiful weather, and the run was along the water, so we had such a nice view of Manhattan during our entire run.

 

My friend also found the picture below on instagram!

Here is one last picture that I took a while ago and just found.  I think it might be one of my all time favorites.



My First 5k!!

I ran my first 5k this morning!  My time was 34:37, which I realize for "runners" isn't great, but for me it was!  It was so cold outside this morning, but as soon as I got going, I warmed up.  The race was for Girls on Track.  David was a good sport and got out of bed at 6:30 to go watch me and take pictures.  I feel inspired now and can't wait to run another race.
