Adventure with the parents

My parents came to visit this weekend and we have been busy, busy, busy. We went into the town of Waterbury for dinner Friday night and ate at a local pub where there was live music provided by a guy and his guitar who was actually very good. We struggled to stay up but after early mornings for all of us we finally gave up and headed to bed around 9:30. So on saturday we were up bright and early and after a leisurely morning spent drinking coffee and bellies full of fresh quiche we headed out to explore Vermont a little. We ended up in the town of Waitsfield about 15 miles south of me. We saw the state's oldest covered bridge, and stopped into multiple little stores. Most of them featured local artists, tons of photography and artwork, some amazing blown glass, ceramics and of course book stores. It's really amazing how little towns just embrace you and try to make sure you are having a wonderful experience in their town as well as urging you to see all that it has to offer. After Waitsfield we headed to Granview Winery which is about 2 miles from my apartment, and directly next to the apple cider mill. We did a wine tasting for 1$ that included 5 different locally made wines. We had some favorites (surprisingly including the cranberry wine made of all cranberries no grapes) and some we didn't like so much (cherry wine, no thanks). We took a couple bottles home for our happy hour that followed shortly after. I made a valentine's dinner for my parents and my aunt erin, and we relaxed, talked and watched movies it was a great evening that lasted much later then the previous one :)
