Fall in Vermont

[alee_grrl]

So I'm a little late getting these pictures up. Earlier in October I got to go to a wedding that was held at this gorgeous museum site in Manchester, Vermont (Hildene, the Lincoln family home in Vermont). It was a whole weekend affair, and such a grand time. Manchester is about two hours south of where I live, so it was a lovely drive down and a chance to really enjoy the fall foliage. The wedding was a late afternoon affair and held outside. Remarkably the weather cooperated and it was the most gorgeous weekend weather wise. Fairly mild (temps in the 60s, which is definitely not a guarantee in Vermont in October) and bright and sunny. The reception was held inside this enormous tent. The food was grand and the DJ good. My friends that got married were so clearly in love and having a blast. And I thankfully felt good and was able to stay for the whole reception. I even managed a dance or two. :D I cannot remember the last time I was awake til midnight. Lol.

Sadly, I came home and promptly came down with the flu. But I am super glad that I got to enjoy the whole weekend without feeling awful. The only misadventure was my hotel, being the incredibly cheap roadside motel that it was, had shitty water pressure and unreliable showers. But it was clean, free of bugs, and the bed was comfortable. So not the end of the world. :D

I've spent the last couple of weekends recovering from the flu and now a sinus infection. But such is life. At least I have plenty to keep myself entertained with. :D

Anyway, I wanted to share some photos that I took because it was so gorgeous and Vermont in the fall is just such an experience.

Wow, those photos are seriously lovely.

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time at the wedding. It sounds like it was an absolute delight.

Thank you! I'm so pleased with how the photos turned out, especially since I only had my phone and not my camera.

And the wedding was an absolute delight. I was so pleased for my friends that everything went well and there was no drama at all (some of the parental units have very strong personalities so we were a bit worried). Thankfully it went super smoothly and everyone had a lovely time.

Great photo love! I'm glad you had a good time. Sorry you got sick afterwards though. At least, like you said, it was after your busy weekend.

[alee_grrl]

Yeah, I was so glad it was after that weekend. And I'm really pleased with how all the photos turned out. So thank you! <3

The photos are gorgeous, thank you for sharing them! I'm sorry to hear that you got slammed by the flu and then a sinus infection on top of it, though. I hope all of that completely clears up soon and that you're spared further health issues the rest of the cold season. *sending healing thoughts your way*
