Smugglers Notch Resort Vacation 2011

This past week we went on vacation to Smugglers Notch Resort in Vermont. The drive through the notch was beautiful. We joined Bob, Steph & Gabe at Smugglers for a week of fun and adventures!

This was the view right outside our condo door. The beautiful green mountains.


On Tuesday we all went for a hike on the Smuggs grounds, it was a beautiful woodland hike and we all had a great time.


Bob & Craig helped Sammie & Gabe get through the hike.

On Wednesday we headed up the road to Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, 4393 ft

It was the perfect day for a hike, despite the rainy forcast at the start of the week.


Samantha enjoyed climbing her first 4000 footer, she had the best seat with a view


Daddy had fun too :)
