Today I flew back to Orlando, Florida from my vacation in Vermont. I love being back where I can wear a T shirt and shorts instead of coats and boots!
Here's a few pictures I took of the ski slopes and my friend's maple sugar operation. I'll go back up,,, in July!
Very nice (although we are a bit tired of snow here right now). Did you bring back some maple syrup? Or maple sugar candy?
No, I had my share of it while I was up there. Seeing it poured into 40 gallon barrels makes you lose your appetite for it.
But I made sure my mom and sister got some.
There really is no thing as vacation in this business. They're all "business trips for research purposes."
Yeah I'll make a few new hubs from them. Most are going in my own sites however, plus youtube videos as I also took videos.
Haven't been near a sugar bush in ages - lucky Bill! Thanks for sharing your great photos!
Your welcome RedElf. I almost slid my mom's car in the ditch the very last night due to it snowing with sleet. I don't miss that, I use to sail off the road at least once a year each winter up there.
hey Bill, nice pics. It looks like an interesting process.
Are you loving this weather??
Hi rebekahELLE!
Yes indeed, it's so nice to go from a sweatshirt, boots and coats to sneakers and T shirts. I made the right decision when I moved down here.
I know.. it's nice to visit outside of the state at times, but I enjoy the Florida lifestyle.. although I can't say I'm very happy with our governor. oh well... life goes on, regardless.
nice, but still cold there, did you ski? where's our maple syrup?
No I did not ski, however I use to be pretty good at downhill skiing. Since I no longer have the equipment, by the time I rented everything and got a day ticket it would cost around 200 bucks!
My friend said he'd be sending your syrup out soon!
Ok, I'll wait for it, the syrup. That is expensive, 200!!

Yup, I'm flying from warm, sunny Orlando Florida to the still cold and snowy Vermont, the Northern part of the state in fact, today. I'm taking pictures and videos of maple syrup harvesting a friend does up there. It's called maple sugaring. I have a site for his maple syrup so the videos will be a...

Yes tomorrow I fly up to my home state of Vermont for a much needed vacation! It's peak fall foliage season up there, so I'll take lots of pics and videos for my Vermont website.Got all my sites post-dated for the whole time I'm gone, I love that! I think I'll get bored fast however. I'll still go...
