Nick BerardiI don't want to tell you what to do, but you need to up your photo game, no more parking lots and highways. If I'm gonna live vicariously through you I need the goods.
TravelerThis blog is supposed to be a real life depiction of our trip. That's all I got. I was sitting in the car bored.
Nick BerardiWell I'm glad to say I just finished a powder day at sunapee so I think I'm winning so far haha
