Before we get to the weather I want to thank my Flyers for a great season. As I sit here this morning they are waking up for the first time in eight months without a game to look forward to. Gotta be tough to lose game six of the Finals in overtime at home after fighting so hard all year and coming back from 0-3 down to the Bruins (not to mention 0-3 in period 1 of game 7). Way to go…now stop cavorting with each others wives (Google it) and win the cup next year. Anyway…I guess I should get to the weather….that is unless you want to talk Phillies baseball.

You may recall a previous “bad” outing (or two) based upon the concept of a triple. This mini-trip completes a troika of trifectas. This time we tried to complete a (June) schuss, climb and swim all within a single mile… in Vermont!

Welcome to the first of what we hope will be many articles in our new “SPA Trips” series. No, we aren’t interested in reviewing and detailing the best spas in the country in exchange for free day passes and massages (although we’ll happily take some free day passes and massages spa owners)! Instead SPA is an acronym which stands for “Starting Points for Adventure.” Check out the little blurb above to get the gist. In the meantime let’s gets started, with a “Stately Pose at a Stately (and first vote) Locale.”
