boyfriend and i were eager to get out the state for this long weekend. i've been challenging myself to travel each month, even for a day trip. this month, we visited the tiny quaint town of wells , which you may remember from last august's report:  'my week in vermont' . we decided to open up summer pre-season and do stuff boyfriend has been eager to show me, which i was unable to see last time.  this place is boyfriend's happy place, and while i'm a city girl thru and thru, i can appreciate the pastures just below the appalachians, the quaint towns full of history, and boyfriend's stories, as well as dipping my fingers straight into maple syrup cans.  here's a brief travelogue  of this quaint countryside getaway: friday i finished paperwork pretty early, as everyone has been itching to wrap up work and start the long weekend. i kept my email open as we embark on a 7-and-a-half-hour drive. i've got plenty of time to review emails anyways.  boyfriend ...
