turning 31 in nyc and burlington, vt...

we kicked off my 31st birthday the night before at satsko sake bar with the help of ricardo...

and a bar-friendly bird who stayed relatively sober...
then thursday afternoon we scoped out manhattan establishments such as vol de nuit...
craig stands against the backdrop of the Empire State Building...

and friday morning we left for vermont.

and our room...

the pedestrian mall along church street in burlington...

and kb, glad to be away from the grind!

craig loves gary, indiana...

a beautiful dusk scene as we retreated to freshen up before a night out...

lattes at "muddy waters"...cute name for a coffee shop!

mountains seen from the distance...
kristin enjoys the 70 degrees and sunny day...

so does craig!

we had an amazing time in vermont and can't wait to go back to burlington...what a great town!
