Leaf Peeping.


[I promise I'm not making it up!]

Payton and I just got back from a great vacation "leaf peeping" on the East Coast. Frances was kind enough to go with us and be our tour guide :) For those wondering what the heck a leaf peeper is: A person (people) who travel to New England in the fall to tour around and see the changing of the leaves.

We flew into Boston and rented a car and drove up to Portland, Maine to visit my good friends Hope and Dave Borg. On the drive up, we stopped in Ogunquit, Maine to let Payton out for a quick stretch. It was quite breezy and a bit cold!!


But beautiful just the same!


Dave and Hope were GREAT hosts and we were delighted when they took us on a tour of the lighthouses nearby.
[I apologize as some of these photos were taken from inside the car...but it was COLD!]






After two days of visiting we continued on to Brattleboro, Vermont to stay with Frannie's Cousin Kelli and her family. Payton took an instant liking to the leaves piled up everywhere!

He tromped around in the leaves like they were the puddles from back home :) Only leaves are obviously much drier and less messy!
