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
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.
Last summer when we stayed at the Squire House, Roger told us about this great country road. So when we were there in winter, decided to take a drive on the road once again. We were amazed that even though it was a side road, road crews had already plowed and sanded the road
