We've returned from our fabulous Vermont adventure (and are still savoring the fun!). Here's a peek at Carol and I in action the past few days at the Essex in Burlington...
My Segway trip through the park near Lake Champlain, what a great way to enjoy a fantastic day in beautiful downtown Burlington Vt.
Carol rope climbing and making her way to the top platform at Northern Lights (no easy task!)
Carol takes a break and bursts out laughing – she is so happy to be back on stable ground (42 feet in the air on a platform, that is)!
Then it was on to the next part of the adventure, where Carol took her first zip line to the base.
Lori makes her way to the top on the ropes while posing for photos for Charlie King, the summer resident photographer at The Essex.
What a wonderful adventure I had with Lori this past weekend! I was especially thrilled with the ropes course/ziplining at Northern Lights. As a cancer survivor, it was so empowering to attempt something that was beyond what was believed to be my physical capabilities... and succeed! As you can see, I'm not the "athletic" type, yet the instructors were so safety-conscious and encouraging, I felt totally comfortable and willing to try anything. What they offer at Northern Lights should be considered a public service... I encourage all cancer survivors to take off your wig, put on a helmet, and change your perception of yourself.
