We made a snap decision Wednesday night. We heard there was a big storm going to hit the Northeast and since we have been wanting to go to Vermont in the winter time when there is snow we decided to leave on Thursday before the storm hit. We called our favorite innkeepers in Dorset Vermont (Squire Inn) to see if they had a room and then started packing. I had to go to work Thursday morning to finish a few things and request time off. Some of my co-workers thought we were crazy. I said we were just adventurous. We made good time – it took about 7 hours and we got to Vermont around 7 pm. This morning we went out to our favorite bookstore and found a bunch of used books by mystery writers that I have been wanting to try and then off to Orvis. Took this picture next to the Orvis store. Then we rode around and took some more pictures. Hard to decide which ones to post. It is around 3 in the afternoon and we are still waiting for the big blizzard.

Got to work early this morning so I could finish a few things before we left for Vermont. We made it to Vermont by 7 pm – a little over 7 hour drive. Stopped to get gas and a sandwich and saw this display and thought I could use this for my photo of the day. I took it with my IPhone but could not upload it until I got home.

There is lots of Queen Anne’s Lace on both sides of the road by the Dorset Union Store – its beautiful. I had a hard time deciding which photo I liked the best. Today was our last day of vacation. It took us 7 1/2 hours to get home – lots of construction on the roads. When we left Dorset it was 70 degrees and when we got home it was in the 90’s.

Our last day in Vermont – we drove to Woodstock and walked around town and then went to Simon Pierce for lunch. We were surprised that there was a 45 minute wait. That gave us time to look around the store, watch the glass blowing and then take some pictures. This covered bridge was damaged in Tropical Storm Irene last September. The bridge is going to be longer and higher and is supposed to be done by December. We could still see evidence of Irene in many places.
