Goodbye hug!

Annika and Ariel give each other their final hugs before we depart for the airport.

Annika and Ariel got along great, as evidenced by the frequent hugging.

At Shelburne Farm in Vermont, Annika hams it up on the fence surrounding the sheep.

Burlington, Vermont

We visited Wayne (David's high-school friend), his wife Megan, and their two children, Mark and Fischer, in Burlington, Vermont. Here, they're at Shelburne Farm.

Attitash, New Hampshire

Between Bangor and Burlington we decided to stop in New Hampshire. We chose Bear Peak Lodge (at Attitash Ski Resort) because they had free Wi-Fi and a pool.

Conrad and Didi in Bangor

We visited Anne (David's sister) and her husband Jim and their two children, Conrad and Didi August 13-15. They live in Bangor, Maine. On Sunday, we all took a walk through a bog (on a boardwalk, as you can see).
