Last morning in Vermont. When we left it was 70 degrees. We have been visiting Dorset for years but never stopped at Dorset bakery until this morning. What a great find

It was gray and overcast

Pretty flowers by the fence and parking lot

We usually try to travel during the week but because of a mix up with medication we decided to travel on a Saturday. We decided to leave later than usual so we left at 11. Traffic wasn’t bad even thought it rained on and off in New York and New Jersey. Google maps advised us to take 287 instead of 17 and Garden State. Made good time til we had a downpour on 287 and I missed an exit. 287 might be a little longer but will give it a try again. Made it home in 7 hours with 4 stops

It’s good to be home

Started the day in downtown Stowe. I have a picture of church from a distance but decided to take one from the front of church

Starbucks is now in Stowe along with 4 other coffee shops

Next up another covered bridge

View from the bridge

Then onto the Stowe Toll Road. It cost over $51 to drive the 4.5 miles to the top of Mt Mansfield. Beautiful views of the Adirondack Mountains

There is a small ledge on back of red pole for you to place your phone so you can set a timer and take a photo of you in the background.

Stowe Mountain Chapel

Then back to the Inn. It was a beautiful afternoon we sat outside. View from just outside our room

View of back of the Inn

Then off to dinner at the Backyard
