Vermont!

Yikes, it has been a while! Fortunately, we do have an excuse - Kate and I were (also) in Vermont for the wedding of our friends Andrew and Jess. The wedding location was quite amazing - not only in the beautiful location of Killington, VT, but the ceremony itself was atop Killington Peak at 4,235." The early fall weather in Vermont was beautiful and cooperated nicely for our time out there. Here's the happy couple:

In addition to the mountain-top ceremony we had a great time seeing our old college friends, hiking around the ski area, playing games, and just generally enjoyed being back in New England for a while. The leaves were just starting to turn, but the days were gloriously sunny and the evening air had that particular crispness that seems so unique to New England in the fall. As a groomsman my wardrobe choice was mercifully already made for me, but check out the surprise that Kate (and the other girls) had when they all met up before the wedding at the gondola. Looks like the bridesmaid "B-team," huh? Totally unplanned color-coordination (not including Erin at the far left) - but they all got a good laugh out of it.


Here's some of the gang hanging out in our weekend condo:

Lest the old traditions fail... (fortunately Sky had ping pong balls, but no paddles could be found)

Blame it on the Boogie, Dartmouth style:

And that's that. Thanks to the (now) Joneses for a great weekend. We really enjoyed it, and it was especially great seeing everyone again!

Enough with preliminary pix. Lets get a Picasa album up for all the lame wedding-skippers out in internet land.

Or am I still being punished?

And how about the real highlight of your trip, Tom? The few days tagged on to the end of your weekend during which you were wined,dined and rummy-cubed by your parents?! And begged by your mother to move East! Just kidding, Kate.

Don't worry Mom, that visit was so monumental it deserves its own blog post! Stay tuned... And by the way, Happy Birthday!

Ari - I have some pictures from one of the bridesmaids I can send you a link to. Once your punishment period is over, that is.
