Winners and a story...

Well *DRUM ROLL PLEASE* the winners are:
Erin
AND
Michelle

NOBODY guessed the first vacation so I am awarding two for vacation B.

The vacation story goes a little something like this:

We woke up SUPER early and got to Logan headed to Las Vegas BUT our flight was being serviced so American Airlines put us on another flight (to Chicago) letting us know that once we got there they would get us to Vegas "straight away"

Well we got to Chicago and spent the next 29 hours on stand-by (with a few hours off to sleep (and in Jim's case swim and ride the flume) at the local hotel) at which point... American Airlines sent us home (our Vegas ready wardrobe wasn't up for 40 degree Chicago...

Captain Kangaroo flew us home and I managed (with the help of GREAT meds) to not completely lose it - and Jim can now say that he has flown with me...

We decided to sqeeze the lemons (when life give you lemons - make lemonade) and go to Vermont for a few days... WELL when we got there? It was the coldest it had been all winter and Mount Snow? CLOSED... Sugaring? CLOSED... Anything else you can think of? CLOSED... So we hung out and played a lot of games and I shopped! A LOT! I SHOPPED A LOT! The stores were open... But you know what? It was a great vacation! I was with Jim and really THAT was the goal of this vacation! AWWWWWWWWW (Don't gag)

Michelle and Erin, I will be sending you little token presents from Vermont on Monday... Have a great weekend!

Vacation pictures?

Well I really can't get the pics off my camera BUT I came up with this idea... I web searched the places we were and found these pictures. Leave your guesses (There are two places here so you get two votes) good luck - there are prizes to be won :-)
