Off to Stowe

We are off tomorrow to Stowe Vermont for Kyle's 40th Birthday. I tried to keep everything a surprise but it has been so hard. We are staying at the Trapp Family Lodge. See link here http://www.trappfamily.com/

For all you Sound of Music movie lovers you will love reading about where we are staying. I stole the blurb below from their website but if you want to read more check out the site above.

"When the von Trapp family left Austria and first gazed on the sweeping mountain vistas of Stowe, Vermont, they knew immediately they had found their new home. And since then, the von Trapp family has invited families to join them in sharing the wonder of mountain living."


We are planning to leave our condo @ 7am Friday. We should get to Stowe around 10:30. Kyle knows we are going to the VT but he does not know where we are staying. I set up a fly fishig excursion for him from 8-1 on Saturday and stupidly had the fly fishing company sent the information to our home address. Kyle saw it arrive in the mail and so he is pretty convinced that we are going somewhere in the Stowe area but I have not confessed yet. The one thing that I'm really excited about that he has no clue about is that one of our couple friends is meeting us in Stowe and will have dinner with us on Saturday night and spend Sunday with us. I also had the bakery at the Lodge make him his favorite b-day cake which is a white cake with strawberries and real whipped cream. We bought the audio version of Michael J. Fox's lastest book to listen to on the way to VT. We are both looking forward to that b/c we both enjoyed his first book.
I'll be sure to take lots of pics to post later.

We've been pretty down lately on the adoption front. We found out for sure last night that the BM definitely had an abortion. She finally called the agency back and confessed to everything. We are so discussed and are very nervous about dealing with future placements. We've learned a lot through this experience and I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? We are hoping the 3rd time will be a charm!! Ok, enough with the cheesy cliches. We hope you all have a great weekend and I'll try to get pics up shortly after our trip.
