We have liftoff!

Just a lot of hot air.

See that? That's a hot air balloon lying on the ground. It was supposed to launch at 6:30 along with 8 or 9 other balloons. It's 7:00 and we're still waiting. We've been waiting over two hours since there's nothing else for grown-ups to do at the Stoweflake Balloon Festival except drink. Still, Vermont rocks, despite the Stoweflake Resort.

Willkommen, kinders!

Welcome to Grunberg Haus B&B in Waterbury, VT. That's the main house, we're up the hill in a cabin. It's a hike, but it's worth it.

Yum! Organic lunch.

Dining out at Cafe Loco in Vermont. I'm having a chicken salad wrap, my gal's having a special salad and that's the view from our table. There are coi in the pond, too.

Train!

Taking it easy waiting for the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat.

Update: This is the same train where Mutt meets Indy in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I find your lack of cake disturbing.

Happy Birthday, David Prowse! You make that cape look good.
