It's now been 4 days since we landed in Albany and it has been a blast! We have taken so many beautiful foliage drives through mountains on pretty, quiet country roads. We have had so much fun exploring Vermont, going to the Shelborne Country Store and dropping by the apple place with the fresh smell of apple cider lingering in the air.
Right now we have had so much fun spending time at Joanne's house and we spent the night last night. After our busy day yesterday, Aunt Linda, me, and my mom came for dinner. The rest of the night was filled with fun and long conversations. We even looked at my cousin's final wedding pictures! This morning, we talked and enjoyed Starbucks coffee in her cozy autumn home. We will be leaving shortly to head to Manchester, Vermont to seek out some cute stores and lunch at Zoey's. The Weston Country Store is also on the list for today.
It's going to be so great to spend the time with Joanne just laughing and enjoying friends. I'm so thankful that the Lord made it possible for this trip to happen.

Leaving...again.
Today is the day. It has finally come around.
Tonight, my mom and I are flying out to go back east once again. I am so thrilled to see the fall colors, take in all the sights and smells of the new season I have never experienced in California. I mean, I have to a certain degree, but of course not like the east coast!
Tomorrow we get in and my aunt will pick us up and take us for a Autumn drive! She said this morning that the leaves are stunning up route 22, so that's our journey route :)
Although there will be many apples and apple barns, pumpkins and pumpkin ice cream, cider and cider donuts...I must say that there is a part of me that is just a tiny bit sad.
This is because I absolutely hate goodbyes (to family and kitties of course.) And finally, I won't be seeing my family like in August. I won't be surprised with seeing my cousin Kari walk through the door and ask if we want to go to Saratoga. Or any other cousin either. But, I have to remember that I was blessed then to have experienced what I experienced, and feel thankful that I have the memories.
I have a feeling this will still be an amazing trip. Though not all of my family will be there like before, I know I will see them again in the future.
Happy Fall and I hope to blog about our adventures!
