There was one photo from Bellana’s graduation that I was really hoping would come out. It was the only picture I took with Dad’s Pentax K1000 that I had sincerely wished was taken with my Z5. I wanted to see the results immediately. Instead, I had to wait.
It came out fine…
I knew it was going to require a huge crop to get what I was after, but I got it. Grainy goodness and all. I am really happy it worked out.
I had my Z5 and a film camera with us when we crossed the two ferries today. Here are a few shots from inside the car.
Crossing from Vermont to Plattsburgh, NY.
Crossing back to Vermont from Fort Ticonderoga.
On the ferry crossing Lake Champlain to New York.
We are at Harry’s place right now. His roommates haven’t arrived yet, still. His room is all set up and it looks great.
Next stop is lunch with Bellana. Not sure if we will get to see her place today. We’ll see.
After three trips to Vermont in just over two weeks, guess what Jen and I are doing today…
Yup. Vermont bound once again.
Road trip city, boys and girls! Let’s go!!!
He’s the first of the roommates to move in. The van and car are unloaded and the bed and desk are partially reassembled.
I was hoping to make the whole drive without stopping but my back insisted on a break.
The cars are packed. Harry just left. I’m giving him a smidgen of a head start then I’ll follow.
I have a metric tonne of gastric bypass friendly food and drinks piled up in the cab of the transit van. 95% will be ignored, but it’s there if I need it.
I have music, podcast, and audiobook playlists armed and ready but I haven’t decided what to listen to first. Maybe the new Stephen Stills live record?
A coworker said yesterday, after I shared the events of the road trip fun with him, there’s no denying that empty nest now. Yup. As of today it’s officially official and once again I am equal parts excited for the kids and sad for me and Jen.
Okay…. Time to get rolling. Burlington, VT here I come.
