In July, it was a special treat to see Pam graduate from Vermont College with her
masters degree in writing for children. Afterwards, we celebrated by taking a few days
at Lake Willoughby, where I had vacationed as a child with my family.

| Lake Willoughby viewed from the north shore |
|
| We stayed at the lovely WilloughVale Inn on the east shore in a room overlooking the lake |
|
| Gardens surround the WillowVale Inn |
|
| The view of the lake from the front porch of the inn is very similar to the view from our room |

|
| We went canoeing and kayaking on the lake a couple times during our visit |

|
| We enjoyed a fascinating side-trip to the Rock of Ages granite quarry. |
|
| We watched the workers cutting slabs of granite far below us. |

|
| Another highlight of our trip was the hike up Mount Pisgah to Pulpit Rock. |
|
| Pulpit Rock is a precipice jutting out over the lake high above the east shore. |
|
| Eddie has happy memories of hiking up to Pulpit Rock with his sister Nancy over three decades ago. |

| Back at the inn, this is the view from the area where we went swimming. |
