Through My Looking Glass- A Modern Mom and Domestic Goddess In Training

    For the third time in a year and a half, my husband and I are back visiting Burlington, Vermont. His company's main office is located here. We drove the 12 hours to get to Vermont from Ohio. Along the drive, I really wanted to stop at some unique, maybe even cheesy, road stops. I searched for the world's largest and smallest roadside stops. I found a great website that helps locate stops along your route. Check it out! I will definitely be using this site more often.  Roadtrippers With the above website, I found the World's Smallest Church located in New York. The church is in the Guinness Book of World Records and can fit two people inside. People have visited this church from all over and it has even been the site for weddings! However, since it is in the middle of a pond, the guest had to sit in boats. The rest of our drive to Vermont was through the Adirondack Mountains. It was beautiful! I will be uploading more photos in another post.

The main reason for staying in the city was for my entertainment career. I was very fortunate to take Saturday classes with the T. Schreiber Studio.

I also had 3 different photo shoots while staying in Manhattan (Central Park, Brooklyn and Union Square). All three were really fun and great photographers. Dave and I also were asked to be audience members for The Bill Cunningham Show. That was very interesting! We sat in the seco

      On the road again. . . Dave and I love our traveling! When I was a little girl, I use to own a children's atlas book. At 10 years old, it was my goal to one day say that I had visited every state in the US. I would "star" every state I had visited, which back then was only Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. I do not still own that atlas, however last weekend I was able to add another state to the list...Vermont.      For my fiance's new job, we were flown out to Burlington, Vermont for a week. We had never been to that part of the county before. It was beautiful! Miles of rolling hills with the Adirondack Mountains in the distance. We stayed at the Hilton hotel, right beside Lake Champlain.  A sunset view from our hotel room.       The community was very unique. The food at the restaurants we ate at, had locally produced food and drink. We didn't see many restaurant chains or "fast food".  At one of the restaurants, the menu choices were
