Middlebury, VT

Just got back yesterday from a week up and down the east coast. I spent Saturday-Tuesday in Middlebury visiting Beth & kids, arriving just in time to hear little Suzie sing with her a capella group at St. Stephen's church - where I played organ (!) the next morning for Sunday service:

I should have taken a picture of the organ itself; it was my first time playing a tracker, and as a pianist, I actually preferred having the extra resistance in the action. I had to give myself a crash course on how to use it, but it all worked out well. Having Beth by my side giving me cues was also a big help!

While in Vermont, I also got to play Wii for the first time, as well as visit the Otter Creek brewery, and the many cute shops around Middlebury. I also got to visit the auto mechanic and get a rather large bill for two new tires and a complete brake job. There is a waterfall downtown,

and it was cold enough that the spray from the falls was making these cool ice crystal formations:

It also snowed on Tuesday morning, just before I was to drive back to Philly. Pretty!
