We actually linked up with Colleen & Max the night before and hitched a ride with them:) We arrived a bit late because I forgot my camera and realized about 15 minutes into our trip!

Their house is always beautifully decorated for Christmas (Mt Vernon has nothing on Uncle Scott's Christmas stash!).
