Vermont vacation pictures

A few days ago I got back from a week vacation to my home state of Vermont. It rained every day, so basically it was a normal week in Vermont. 😀 It was nice to get some cooler weather however and I had a good time.

Most of my visit was just visiting family and friends, doing things for my mom and so on. I did get up to the mountains once and did a little driving around to see my old places I use to visit.

I rented a car this time which was nice but cost more. I also took a different airline; as of now Allegiant Air is the only airline that offers non-stop flights from central Florida to Burlington, Vermont.

Hot air balloon show picture gallery of my vacation

August 16, 2013 by

Hot air balloon show

About a month ago I took a trip up to Vermont, something I do twice a year. It’s where I’m from so I go up to see Mom, family and friends. This time I lucked out and got there just as Stowe, Vermont was having a hot air balloon festival.

I had never been to one but always wanted to see one. So I took the opportunity to go to this one. They had 25 balloons so it was a good show. You could stand right next to them as they blew up the balloons and took off.

I would have rode on one but it cost $275.00, a bit more than I wanted to spend for a 30 minute ride. Anyways it was really cool to see them take off and I took a lot of pictures.

I also went hiking and took a gondola car up a mountain. I took pictures of all that too and made a big picture gallery for you to enjoy. Because who doesn’t love watching people’s vacation pictures! 😀

Really though, you’ll enjoy these if you like hot air balloons and outdoorsy shots. So start the slide show below and check it out. :)

To use this picture gallery, click on the first picture and the picture show will start. Click the arrow in the right bottom corner to go to the next picture. Click inside the picture at any time to exit the picture gallery. Hope you enjoy these pictures from my vacation!

My mom on the local news!

March 22, 2013 by

FOX44 – Burlington / Plattsburgh News, Weather

Well everyone, I have something totally different to share with you all today! My mom lives in Vermont, where I was born and raised. She lives in an elderly type apt. home. Her apartment in way at the end, right by a corner where two roads meet.

Well a few days ago some kid was driving fast through town around 2 AM in the morning. A cop started to chase him and he drove down toward where my mom lives.

He lost control of the car, went right between two trees and hit the back side of her apartment right where her bedroom is! It punctured a small hole in the wall and knocked everything around inside.

My mom happened to be sleeping out in the living room so she was not hurt, just shook up. Anyways the local news crew came over that day and did a little story about it with my mom. So please check out the video above and see my mom! :)

I’m back from my Vermont vacation!

November 3, 2012 by

Vermont vacation

I guess I never told anyone, but I went up to my home state of Vermont recently for a vacation of my own! The fall foliage was early this year and pretty good with lots of colors.

When I came back, I brought back my mom and sister so they can have their own little vacation. It’s my mom’s first time in Florida so I have lots to show her.

We will do Disney’s Magic Kingdom, SeaWorld, Universal Studios and lots of smaller attractions. We are going to take an airboat ride as my sister wants to do that.

So it’s been a very busy few weeks the past few weeks. Expensive too! But it’s nice to finally have my mom and sister down here at the same time so we can do that “family thing”.

Anyways I’ll try to make a picture gallery of the Vermont fall foliage pictures I took and put them on here soon. If you’ve never been to Vermont in the fall I highly suggest you do, just dress warm! :)

Have you ever wondered what folks do that live in Orlando when they go on a vacation? Well I’m about to take off on one myself, about time! So where am I going to go on my vacation?

Since I’m from the state of Vermont that is where I’m going. My mom and family is up there so I’ll do the whole catching up on things up there. It will be cooler weather there and not as humid.

Stowe, Vermont pictures of Mount Mansfield

Hey everyone! Where does someone who lives in Orlando go on their summer vacation? Well in my case it was back up to my home state of Vermont! I’ve been gone for a week and just got back.

It was nice up there, great weather. I spent time seeing all the family and so on, checking out the places I use to go to and all that. This time I did something special however.

In Stowe, Vermont is Mount Mansfield. It’s the highest peak in the state and where the best Vermont skiing is. They have a huge ski lodge at the base of it that also is a hotel.

Taking a Vermont vacation, here’s my travel tips

June 15, 2010 by

Vermont vacation time!

Well everyone, when you live in Orlando, you go somewhere else on vacation! Since I’m from Vermont I’m going up for a visit in a couple of weeks. So I thought I’d share some travel tips with you.

I’m taking a non stop flight up and back, I hate stop overs. I bought my tickets online, and the day before I’ll check in online at home as well. Then I just print out my tickets at home.

I’m taking only two carry ons. One will be my laptop case, which will have my laptop and any small electronics, like my phone, flash cards and so on. The other will be a duffel bag just under the size restriction for carry ons.

On my own vacation to Vermont!

October 23, 2009 by

Vermont covered bridge

Well everyone, today I take off on my own vacation! Since I’m from Vermont I’m flying up for two weeks to see the family. I also have a friend that I will get paid to help with a project, so it’s a bit of a working vacation too. The fall foliage in the northern part of Vermont is almost over, and that’s where I’m going.

So maybe I’ll take a trip down to the southern part and try to get some pictures of the fall leaves. It’s really beautiful in the fall in Vermont. But, cold weather is right behind it, which I hate and is why I’m in Florida! Anyway let me tell you what I packed and how I do it for some travel tips.
