It was a little damp and rainy but we ventured out. First stop covered bridge by the path

Views from both sides of the bridge

Love the reflections

Then onto Emily’s Bridge which is supposed to be haunted. There was a lot of people there taking pictures and had to wait to get a clear shot

Then we went in search of a red barn didn’t find it but I did get some other great shots

Then we headed back to Stowe and was surprised to see we could get a shot of the church. I had seen pictures of this scene on Facebook but didn’t know where photo was taken

Another view of the church. We have been to Stowe lots of time over the years but never went on path behind the church. It’s where the 5 mile path starts.

Then back to the Inn

Left Saratoga springs this morning. We were going to take the ferry but it was damp and rainy so decided to take scenic route to Stowe Drove by Lake George. Could not believe all the cabins, motels and rental places.

Stopped at Crown Point

Drove thru Smugglers Notch.

It’s very narrow thru the notch. Tractor trailers cannot make it thru and if they try snd get stuck it’s a $2,500 dollar fine

Found some red trees in back yard of the Stone Hill Bed and Breakfast

Stopped in downtown saratoga springs. Found a great bakery. Mrs Landons and a great yarn store. Common Threads

Then we headed to Manchester to Orvis so Michael could use his coupon. Then we headed to Stowe. Went a different route this time and discovered a new covered bridge Shushan covered bridgeBut after I took the picture I tripped and scraped my knee and elbow. Thank goodness there is a first aid kit in truck

Then we headed to Stowe and the sun finally came out

The gardens at the Stone Hill Inn are beautiful as usual

View from our room

Just some close ups of the beautiful flowers I finally got to see some lupine

Last day in Stowe. Did two loads of wash. Went to farmers market and bought some maple caramel bourbon popcorn. Then we spent afternoon relaxing outside by the gardens. It was another beautiful day. Wish rest of our trip it would be this nice but heat wave is on its way

Spotted at farmers market

Daisies are my favorite and there are lots of them

If you are ever in Stowe, Vermont be sure and stay at the Stone Hill Inn. We have been there 4 times and if we lived closer than 7 hours we would be there several times a year. It’s one of our favorite bed and breakfasts. This is just part of the beautiful gardens.

When we left Maryland it was raining and damp, then we hit construction on the New York State Thruway so it took ten long hours to get to Stowe.  When we got to Stowe, the sun was shining and it was 70 degrees.  My kind of weather.   I checked the weather in Stevensville and discovered that it was warmer in Vermont.  So it was a great night to sit outside and have dinner.  After dinner we checked the gardens at the Stone Hill Inn and it is just as beautiful as we remembered.
