GammaGamps!
This weekend was really good. It was Parent's Weekend here at Norwich and my Grandma and Grandpa drove up from PA. I hadn't seen them since May, so it waas really nice to see them again. And Mike got to meet them for the first time as well, which went really well. :) We went to dinner Friday after giving them a tour of campus. We went to the Chef's Table, the New England Culinary Institute restuarant in Montpelier. It was really good. Oh yeah, we went to a maple sugaring farm right before dinner too. That was fun, I never knew how they made maple sugar/syrup before.
Saturday we drove up to Burlington. I had mentioned that I wanted to get a rug, so we spent a while trying to find one and we did! It is very pretty and it makes my room much cozier than it was. Grandpa bought it for me too, which was very unexpected, but appreciated. :) We had lunch and then drove to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. It was a small, but really neat museum right on the lake. It had all sorts of boat stuff, including a restored boat that I had to prevent Mike from drooling all over and trying to steal. ;) They also had a replica of the Lois McClure and the Philadelphia II there. Those were neat! The Philadelphia was a 54' boat with I think 3 good-sized cannons on it and then we found out that it had a crew of 40 people when they used it in 1776! That boat does NOT look like it could hold 40 people. So that was a lot of fun, interesting stuff! Then we drove back to Barre and went to dinner at Sambel's, a little restaurant in the old Barre Airport building. It is the wierdest restaurant setup I have ever seen, but the food is really good! We just came back to campus after that and Grandma and Grandpa went back to their B&B. Overall, it was a great weekend. Nice and relaxing and I ate so much food...it was awesome. :D
Yay! Happy weekend.
