First of all, my apologies to Vanhoskier and Whitewater Girl, our very own extreme kayaking Divas. This is not your kind of trip.
Happy Feet and I kayaked the Connecticut River yesterday, a relaxing, 12 mile trip through some beautiful countryside with no whitewater. (For those of you who don't know, the Connecticut is the river that separates Vermont from New Hampshire.)

I love this time of year in VT almost as much as snowtime. Sigh...
