University of Vermont – Burlington
The other part of our epic trip to Vermont was a trip up to Burlington, where some college friends of BF, who now live in Arizona, were up visiting family. We had a wonderful time visiting with them, but also had some time to go on a nostalgia tour of the UVM campus for BF.

Hildene – Manchester, VT
Last weekend, we did a moderately epic trip to Vermont. The first reason for said trip was the wedding of a friend of BF’s family. The reception was held on the lovely grounds of Hildene, which was Robert Todd Lincoln’s home. It’s a beautiful home, which I did not have the time to explore, though

Maui, Day 3
This particular day on Maui was our day to drive the Hana Highway. This is the road that encircles Haleakala, though the true “Road to Hana” is only the drive to the town of Hana, which is roughly halfway around the volcano. Anyone that’s driving usually doesn’t do the complete circle around the back side
