Bradley’s Almanac

Boston to Burlington and Back Again

Posted on September 3, 2003 at 2:50 pm | No Comments

We’re back from another round-trip drive up to nostalgia-ville, aka my birthplace of Burlington, Vermont, land of Howard Dean and hundreds upon hundreds of unhygenic hippies.

Went to my cousin TJ’s wedding …

… spent Labor Day at the Champlain Valley Fair …

… got a little tour of the Dean For President Headquarters …

… and capped it all off watching friends make some music …

All in all, a pretty great little getaway. More pics and thoughts later.

Oh, and yeah, I know I missed the Mp3 of the Week, but I’ll make up for it later tonight, I promise. After I hang out with Norman Jewison, that is.
