I usually spend my birthday with Allen in a place we’ve never visited. Since I was turning a “big number” this year, I decided to invite friends and family to join me on my birthday trip. I chose a small town in southern Vermont called Wilmington.
I booked my first Vrbo, a really nice home that was a 10-minute walk from downtown. It slept 12, had a hot tub and a game room…front porch, backyard with a swing. We only stayed two nights, but it was just nice to get away and celebrate with dear ones.
We had some nice meals in town and did some shopping. A used book and music store had a “yurt” outpost that required a lot of digging.

Even though it was unseasonably cold, I had to get ice cream on my birthday. I had a maple creemee from the Creemee Stand. It was some of the best soft serve I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a LOT of soft serve.

Getting older is always tough for me, but I’m trying hard to embrace it and be grateful! How do you deal with getting older?
