But unfortunately, we were the victims of FALSE advertising! Our poor friends drove all the way from Ithaca to the Thousand Islands, only to find out there was no internet at the condo. They contacted the owner, who gave them the total run-around, wouldn't return their phone calls and didn't seem the least bit interesting in dealing with the situation.
Our car was completely packed with all our gear and food for the weekend when we got the call from Chris. We were kind of at a loss for what to do. We couldn't very well justify going anyway, and just not watching conference, but the idea of just not getting together seemed like such a bummer. We'd been planning on spending conference weekend together for weeks now, and we couldn't wait to hang out (not to mention they have two of the cutest kids ever and we were really looking forward to playing with them all weekend!).
The other options were for us to drive to Ithaca, which would have taken at least 6 hours, or for them to come to Burlington...after they had already driven several hours to get to the Thousand Islands.
Luckily for us, our friends are such good sports and they decided to drive all the way to Burlington so we could spend the weekend together. You guys are the best!
We had such a great time together watching conference, eating out, going to Shelburne Farms, walking along Lake Champlain, and just being together. There's nothing quite like best friends! We love you guys. Come back soon!

Looked like so much fun! They do have the cutest kids ever. I love that last picture.
Unexpectedly awesome... that describes it perfectly. We love you guys so much and are so glad we live close enough to play with you. Totally worth the 6 hour drive anytime, even with our two cute kids (glad we're not the only ones that think so :) Can't wait for Thanksgiving in NYC!
What a fun weekend! And cool places to visit! I would love to come for a visit and see all these fun places. Good friends are a must, glad you had a good little break!
