Another very hot and humid day. Decided to drive to Brandon. We have never been there and the innkeepers recommended it. We drove along Route 40. It was very scenic and there were several lakes

Lake Bomoseen and Neshobe Island

We missed the turn off for Route 73 but we discovered another covered bridge on alternate road

Sanderson Bridge

Loved all the hot air balloons

There was a nice little park in town

Not all the churches in Vermont are white

Then we headed to Weston

Not much water going over the dam

Old building by the mill

Then we stopped at The Vermont Country Store. We have been there numerous times and it’s usually very crowded but not today

Chilly morning. It was 56 degrees this morning

Drove thru Smuggler’s Notch to St Albans. We have driven all over Vermont but have never been to St Albans. There was a farmers market in town and we purchased a beautiful stained glass piece of Mt Mansfield and a bottle of wine. We found a nice park right alongside Lake Champlain

Then we decided to go to Jericho It’s been several years since we were there

The Old Red Mill houses the Historical Society Museum, Snowflake Bentley Exhibit and a craft shop Snowflake Bentley was the first person to photographs single snow crystal

We stopped at the Edelweiss Mountain Deli for some great turkey sandwiches Got back to the Inn and we both tried to open the wine. Finally had to ask one of the other guests to try. He changed corkscrews and opened it.
