At our place, our anniversary and birthdays are all lumped together. So we often celebrate them all at once. Yesterday, we had sushi and wine for supper. L enjoyed the tuna and even had a go at the chopsticks.
After the meal, we brought out the “happy cake”. L admired the cake throughout the day, and when I got home from the office, he could hardly sit down for supper–Mom had told him that we would eat the cake when Dad got home. L is only 20 months old and already happy cakes are something to get excited about.
Today we took a trip north to Vermont–we wanted to take some time out before the pace quickens dramatically on Tuesday. We spent the early afternoon at Sugarbush Farm. They make their own cheese and maple syrup. After tasting some of their cheeses, including a sharp cheddar that was aged for 6 years, we bought some for lunch and some to enjoy in the coming weeks. We also toured their sugar shack, where the sap from the trees is boiled down to syrup.
After spending a few hours at the farm, we drove down the road to see some glass blowers at work. Very cool. We watched them make some wine glasses and vases. It would have been nice to buy a souvenir, but the prices were a bit on the steep side.
