Vacation to Stowe, Vt.

As most of you know, Fran and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in April. As an early trip we decided to go back to Stowe, where we took our honeymoon. I have always wanted to see the town and the inn at Christmas. I was not disappointed. Since we would be gone 5 days and because of the long drive time, we felt we didn't want to leave Mason that long so we invited my parents to go along too. Now, even though Fran and I share the same anniversary date with my parents we decided it was creepy to take your parents on an anniversary trip. So, we changed it to a Christmas vacation. It certainly was an adventure! Four adults, a toddler and one mini van packed to the gills. Thank God for the portable DVD player!! It is the BEST money ever spent. With Mason's Elmo addiction it could've tragic without it.
