My Trip To Massachusetts

I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Massachusetts last week, with my mom, to visit my sister, Trisha. Here are some pictures to document my visit.

This is my sister, Trisha, her husband, Jacob, and their girls: Maren (bottom left), Eliza (bottom right), and baby Jane. This picture was taken right outside of their duplex in Belchertown, MA. It was a "warm" day...35*!!!! ;)
While I was there we went to the Yankee Candle Flagship Store in Deerfield, MA. We were also able to drive down the main road in Historic Deerfield and see where they filmed the movie, "Little Women".
This is a darling farmer's market called Atkin's Farms. We went there one morning for a freshly baked donut (I had a fabulous blueberry muffin), and bought some locally drawn maple syrup. It was so cute and quaint.
OK, I realize that this is a really random picture. Let me explain a little bit...

I was so fascinated by this place...Massachusetts...

It was mostly because there is no direct route to anything. There are teeny-tiny, narrow roads all through the countryside, and you can't see anything for all the trees. So, when Jacob was driving us to the store to get stuff for Sunday's dinner, this is where we ended up...in the middle of what seemed to be nowhere. I'm glad he knew where he was going because I would have had NO idea!!!

On Saturday, Trisha and Jacob took us to see the UMASS campus, where Jacob is going to school, and then we went to eat at their favorite Thai place. It was really yummy!!

This is me standing by a GIGANTIC pile of snow. It had to be at least 10 feet tall. Another random picture, I know, but I couldn't pass it up!!

I went with the twins to their dance class on Friday afternoon and got to watch them dance around for an hour or so. Their dance class was in this awesome old barn that had been converted into a dance studio. They're too cute! I loved being able to go watch them!!

Me and my sis...I sure wish we lived closer to each other!!!

Thanks, Trish and Jacob, for entertaining me and for allowing me to invade your lives for a few days!! I love you!!
