... and the 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga. Shelburne is unique for the remarkable collections exhibited in a village-like setting of historic New England architecture, accented by a landscape that includes a formal garden, herb and heirloom vegetable gardens, and perennial gardens. <br><br>Any visit to this area should include a day at this incredible museum.<br><br>http://www.shelburnemuse um.org/<br> <br>

October 19, 2009<br><br>We drove to the ski town of Stowe and spent a sunny afternoon biking along the river, the path criss-crossing the river by way of ten bridges, bordering pastures and farms. The leaves are falling and the colors fading but it was still a pleasant ride ending at the Brookdale covered bridge. <br><br>

Left Bennington this morning (32 degrees!), and rode through small villages and beautiful countryside to The Shelburne Museum. We had 3 hours to explore it and only scratched the surface. It would be impossible to describe what the Shelburne is like, so this link to their web site will do it more justice than I ...

... heading each direction on the pass, and how we got over, around and through everyone without getting in a wreak, I will never know. Maybe my superior driving skills, or Florence's flawless navigation. Once one the other side, the sun came out, and we saw some BEAUTIFUL countryside on our way to Averille, VT, the moose capital of the state. We have Rob &amp; Tricia's Garmon which has been very helpful, but this time the GPS wanted to ...

... Port Kent. Port Kent is 10 houses and a ferry dock. We put Scarlet on the ferry, and headed off across Lake Champlain to Burlington, Vermont. Halfway across, I turned on the ignition and voila! position in the middle of Lake Champlain showed up on the map of the Nav System! I guess it should not be a surprise, but it was.<br><br>We drove off the ferry and through town to the ...

... ride. We both hoped onto a horse and she ran the carousel for us<br>only. days gone by for sure. Haven't been on a carousel horse in many<br>years.<br>The U.S.S. Ticonderoga is also at the museum. Poor boat is<br>sitting on dry land now but her glory days of being a paddle steamship<br>on Lake Champlain will be remember from the photos and the restoration<br>of the ship. She is a very nice boat. We got a sneak glimpse of the<br>hidden whistle when we were in the ...

... kynyt. <br><br><br>Ajaessamme Adirondackin läpi taivas alkoi pimetä ja jyrähdellä uhkaavasti, ja pian ajoimmekin lähes nollanäkyvyydellä kaatosateessa salamoiden ja ukkosen ympäröiminä. En ole vielä ollut sellaisessa ukkosmyrskyssä missä me eilen ajoimme. Kaikkialla oli pimeätä, tiet tulvivat ja tuulilasipyyhkimien maksiminopeus ei tuntunut riittävän pitämään vesikerrosta poissa silmien edestä. Ajoimme tässä myräk ...

... course I didn't look him up to consider bringing him to campus...) You can see where my priorities lie. In any case, if you're expecting to keep up with this blog, I give you props now. We have internet in the rooms so I'll try to update as much as possible (for you all as well as for my own sanity), but also know that I'm really good at rambling. Okay, we already knew that, but just stick with it. I like to think that I can usually ...

... We were going to do the tour of the Ben and Jerrys Factory in Waterbury, VT but we ended up being 15 minutes late for the last tour. Thats ok though. We went theough the gift shop, looked at all the cool display cases and had ice cream there. It was fun and Vermont is so beautiful. We ate at a very good restaurant called Ninety-Nine. I had honey fried chicken, yum. Tomorrow should be fun, we have a few things planned.

Wat er de dag tevoren niet van gekomen is, is dan maar als eerste op deze dag aan de orde : een duik in het zwembad. We zijn blijkbaar de enigen en genieten dan ook van ons eerste zwempartijtje deze vakantie. Ik boek via Internet nog een Holliday-Inn hotel in Burlington (Nu we tevreden zijn van Holliday Inn, neem ik geen risico meer. De andere ketens zijn trouwens toch niet zoveel goedkoper) Ik maak me voor de fun ook priorityclub member. Zo ...
