Holiday Inn Rutland/Killington

... that have never been displayed outside the house, beautiful Tiffany windows and an impressive library that speaks to the wealth of the former owners but oddly it still feels very much like a home.<br><br>We finished our visit to Vermont with dinner in the little town of Woodstock at a corner establishment, Bentley's, and one more go at PEI mussels; I can't leave them alone. These were exceptionally good, rivaling the ones we had in PEI. <br><br> On to Massachusetts.<br><br>

... a little TLC. <br><br>October 18, 2009<br><br>Sunday we all pack into the car and head west to Shelburne Farms near Burlington for a little exploring and some photo ops. <br><br>Shelburne Farms was the vision of Dr. William Steward Webb, railroad entrepreneur and his wife, Lila (Vanderbilt) who purchased 3,800 acres on Lake Champlain in 1886 with the intention of creating an exemplary agricultural ...

... attention.<br><br> October 16, 2009<br><br>The back roads of Vermont are enchanting this time of year, driving through the color-laden hills to Quechee Gorge and then a walk down into the gorge was quite pleasant. Only a native knows the back roads and we were lucky enough to have one as a guide. George commented that he had seen more of Vermont in these two days than in all of his previous visits which were ...

... I did though see a lot of misleading moose crossing signs. After Kayaking we decided to go out to the water trampoline, we had never been on one before, and now I see why! We were taken out there on a boat where we jump less then a foot high for a couple on minutes till I fell off the trampoline to the freezing cold water. At that point Thomas somehow fell off the trampoline to. I swam to the side and tried to get upon the ladder which happened to be to high to actually get up upon ...

... that said I heart NY because I think the people there are quite rude and some of them are downright ugly. No offence Marybeth. Now we are in the most lovely peaceful woods in a totally private campground in Vermont with no noise or kids or boats screaming blooding murder with Christmas Lights attached to their RVs, you get the picture? Just the sound of the fire crackling, the brook gurgling and drops of rain which come and go. We just can&#8217;t seem to ...

... and going toward Buffalo, NY. That is not concrete - as you can tell by now we do change our minds!!! I would really like to go to Burlington, VT and take the cruise to visit the Northern Lights, but that will probably be on another trip also. I will try to post tomorrow and let you know where we ended up.

The first part of the trip was spent in NH and consisted of work work work. So after that was finished, the first play play play part was in VT. We stayed in Manchester at a nice B&amp;B- too bad is was only 1 night! We walked around the town at night and saw all the crazy people. Actually ...

I got home from Arizona and only had three days to get all of my stuff ready and leave for NYC to catch my plane for India. I was able to pull everything together but ended up spending a small fortune on vaccinations, medicines, etc. Luckily I had dawnkwan around to help me out!<br>

... and restaurants. Every house I passed was huge and impeccably maintained. It was also in this area that I started to see several places where you can stop and pick your own blueberries. I didn't stop but this seems like it might be a nice thing to stop and do sometime. I thoroughly enjoyed my drive through some of the smaller roads and highways in NY. Everywhere I looked it was gorgeous. There were rolling ...
