Easter

This post is about a month delayed, but I wanted to share our Easter weekend with you.

Kevin and I flew up to Vermont for Easter this year.  We arrived Thursday evening around midnight and took my brother-in-law's car from the airport to my mother-in-law's house (thanks Dan for leaving your car).  We crashed! Hard!
I proceeded to wake up in the middle of the night and got really sick.  Probably from the airport dinner we had...Chinese food from Panda Express.  This is my official warning: Please do not eat Chinese food at the airport, no matter how good it smells.

The next morning we hung around the house getting some work done (yes, we both had to work on vacation).  But, look at my mother-in-law's beautiful living area!  This was the perfect relaxing spot if we had to do work!

About noon, we headed to downtown Winooski and met my father-in-law for lunch at Waf's Westside Deli.  I haven't eaten at Waf's since October 2009 because they are closed on the weekend, so we were both STOKED to get some great Waf's food.  Getting a meal here may have been part of the reason we went up on a Thursday night instead of Friday night. :)

 Lunch was amazing as was catching up with Kevin's dad and after we left Waf's we went over to chill with Alex and one of my favorite little boys, Peyton.  He is such a good and happy baby!  We had fun just hanging out together!

Kevin and I left the LaVigne's and went over to Kevin's Elementary school to see the basketball banner's his dad had just hung.  The gym looked awesome!

The year Kevin won was 1999-the highest banner above him!

We left there and went over to Dan's to leave him his vehicle and go to dinner with him and my mother-in-law and her husband Ron.  Dinner was at Junior's Italian Restaurant and was DELICIOUS!  We went back to the house on the lake and called it a night!


Saturday, we got up and had some breakfast and then made our way to Burlington for a trip to Lake Champlain Chocolates.  After filling our basket and emptying our piggy bank, we left with a bag full of the best chocolate on earth and had a little laugh over the dancing bunny!

Our next stop was to see the World's Tallest Filing Cabinet-not a huge attraction (Kevin didn't even know it was there), but it was fun to see it and take a few selfies!

Made up of 11 cabinets stacked on top of each other!

We drove over to Waterfront Park and made a stop at the Beansie's Bus for an early lunch and peaked out at the water before driving back into Winooski, where we spent a bit of time at Memere and Pepere's house just visiting.

We had a later lunch back at my mother-in-law's and laid down for a quick, but refreshing, nap before heading back out to the Windjammer for dinner.  However, everything was so packed, we decided to go to McKee's for dinner instead.  Then it was over to CK's for a quick drink and back to the house at a reasonable hour so we could be up early for Easter Mass.

Here's Kevin with the CK's sign that we both swear is new even though we're told it's been here for years!

Sunday was a BEAUTIFUL day!  We met Kevin's grandpa at church and then popped back over to Memere and Pepere's to visit with family before Easter lunch.

Check out those awesome eggs, handmade as place cards!

 Then it was off to Kevin's dad's for a 2nd lunch and an Easter egg hunt with the younger cousins. 

Brianna took our pictures and may have gotten a tip from Kevin for it!

We followed grandpa back to his apartment and visited with him for a bit.  Then we went back to Kevin's mom's to pack up our stuff and headed over to Dan and Shelby's for pizza and the hockey game.  We crashed there for the night for an easy and quick trip to the airport the next morning.

Once again a whirlwind visit-there is NEVER enough time to see everyone.  But, it was really great to spend some time with Kevin's grandparents and see all of the cousins, aunts and uncles and family!  We had a really great visit! 

Happy Belated Easter!  Christ is Risen!
