Upcoming vacation do now

      My upcoming vacation will be in Vermont. I am very excited for this vacation. My family always visits the Trapp Family Lodge because my aunt works there. I will be going there for about 4 days. We always have a good time when we are up in Vermont.I spend time with family and hang out with friends. We also go skiing when I am there. It is my favorite time of the year.
