Been traveling for 4 days and finally made it to Vermont (visited family in PA for 2 days).  I was so happy to be out of that car I thought I would weep tears of joy.  Checked in hotel around 5pm and the family wanted dinner.  I just wanted to hit the gym and unlock my pretzelized (is that a word?) legs.  Had to let my dinner settle then hit the treadmill around 9pm.  I started to feel human again.  I started to believe I could survive this trip.  I know I can do it now that I have a place to regroup.  

My sister is with me and she has trouble with her left knee.  She got on the stationary bike and tried to pedal with just her right leg but it kept slipping out of the strap so I put my right foot on the left pedal and helped her.  It ended up working out well for her...good times.

Another day of touring Vermont.  Maple syrup making factory and the Cabot cheese factory.  Lots of yummy samples and souvenirs (even something for you QP).  Spent a lot of time in the car again taking in the beautiful landscape.  Couldn't wait to get back to the hotel again to untie my legs.  

Did 5 on the treadmill then spent about 15 minutes on the elliptical.

Got back to the room kind of late today.  Got on the treadmill at 9:30pm but it was necessary.  Went moose hunting today (looking from the car window).  Doing souvenir shopping tomorrow (my favorite part of any trip).
