yay for hometown support!

We just found out that our local paper in Vermont, the Bennington Banner is going to put information about Team Blue Lollipop Road and the Best of the Road Rally in this Saturday’s paper. (Tomorrow 5/12.) Arts & Entertainment section!

Mom and I were both born and raised in the Bennington area and are super excited that our town is rallying for us and nominating some must see spots in Vermont for Best of the Road!

Look at this gorgeous place we are from:

…and you wonder where i get it

Because I have been saying hi to ask for your votes via video, Mom wanted to say hi too. Sure enough as we usually stay unscripted- here she is, laughing away at herself:

So mother like daughter? Yeah, we can definitely entertain ourselves. We always joke about how much fun we can have doing nothing.

On take 2 Mom got her hello out:

Vote for us HERE for Best of the Road Rally 2012!

On this Mother’s day weekend I’m so thankful for my Mom. This amazing person who loves me more than anything, supports all my hopes and dreams, and that I can always crack up with. She is my Mom and friend, and the kind of person any kid would be lucky to have in their life.

Dear Mom~

Thank you for always believing in me, supporting me, and your willingness to always fully jump in the fun and laugh out loud with me.

I love you.
