road tripping

we were caffeinated and ready to go see some ice castles in the middle of new hampshire, but halfway there we realized it was sold out and plan b, the ben & jerry’s factory, was two hours too far. so we drove through vermont’s backroads as i counted bernie signs and alex searched for real ice sculptures. we stumbled upon a goldmine of cheddar cheese and maple syrup samples and pulled over when we found a beautiful backdrop. our fingers burned until we couldn’t feel them and tears rolled in the wind, but it was worth it because now i know that alex is a perfect model.
