Day 2 in Burlington, did not disappoint, despite some rain this afternoon! Bike ride on the Causeway, more breweries, more bourbon, more good food. 🤩

The Causeway bike path

We made it back before the rain storm!  It lasted about an hour so it wasn't too bad and we were able to get right back out to the city for another brewery stop and then dinner.

Next brewery stop was Zero Gravity Beer Hall.  I was happy to find something worthy of my tastebuds as I am not a beer fan!  This place offered pre-mixed cocktails.  I thought the Manhattan was pretty solid considering.

Not impressed with the humidity.
It's not as bad as Monica but this was flat ironed before we left.

Church Street was such a cool place to walk around!

The place that I had wanted to eat, only had an available table at 8pm, so we decided to kill some time at The Burlington Whiskey Room.  And we couldn't resist trying the Chicken Curry Poutine and the peach old fashioned was amazing!  YUM!

Finally to our dinner reservation at Pizzeria Verita.  

This was my favorite food of the entire trip.  This is house made mozzarella made fresh daily.  I wish I could have taken a vat of it home with me.

 On another whirlwind adventure, this time to Burlington VT!

All checked in at the hotel and ready to go exploring!

First stop on our adventure, Foam Brewers.  

Beautiful views of Lake Champlain, except there were posted warnings about Blue Algae.  

More exploring and on to the next Brewery, Switchback Brewing Co.. 

After hitting up some breweries, we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our dinner reservations. 

Church Street

All those beers caught up to Charlie - here he is sneaking onto a worksite to use the porta-potties.

Black Widow lived up to the hype. I have been waiting a long time for my Marvel movie in the theater fix! 😁

Don't cry because it's over, smiled because it happened. 😃😃😃

If only it were that easy. 😭😭😭

I'm so incredibly proud of the boys for the hard work they put into this show.  They had seven days to learn a ton of music and stage direction, including building a barricade!  I feel like I find myself always saying this is my new favorite show, but this show was something special because of the amount of time they had to put it all together.  You really would have never known they only had seven days and that is just something so remarkable to me.

To the entire cast and crew, thank you!  This was really something spectacular.

You guys.  I don't even know what to say.  My last kiddo is off to middle school in the Fall and brings to a close our time at BGS.  😭😭😭

While I'm beyond excited for what RMS will bring for Evan, I'm so sad that this was how my last year with a student at BGS ended.  I did not get the goodbyes I wanted and needed.  And while I might have felt disconnected this year, I'm so thankful to the 5th grade team for making the most of this year for these kids and still celebrating them the best way they could even if I wasn't able to be a part of it. 🤩

On to his last year of middle school - 8th grade in the Fall! 🎉

And that's a wrap on his first year of high school and he totally knocked it out of the park (⚾️pun intended!)!!!
