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

We both got massages today. If you are ever in Manchester, Vermont check out Blew Skies Holistic Massage. Bess is awesome

Then we drove back to Bennington to pick up Michael’s hat that we left at our first stop

Some pictures around Squire House grounds

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

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

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

It’s 6:30 pm and it’s 86 degrees in Vermont and it’s going to be hot and humid for next few days

Stopped at the Northshire Bookstore – my favorite bookstore. They have a new section Blind Date with a Book.

Staying at the Squire House again. Owners told us it was our 17th visit

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

Daisies are my favorite and there are lots of them

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.
