This morning we left Wanda the toothless beast and headed east towards Vermont. We hit the road at about 8:30am and jumped back on the interstate for a short time before taking some of the smaller roads through some villages and small towns and plenty of pretty red and orange leaves. We stopped in Bennington for breakfast at a local diner. One of those small town type places where the lady behind the counter knows everyone by name.
From breakfast we headed to take some photos and then back in the car and on the road through some more small towns. The scenery today has been lovely and wish we could explain it. Its just something you have to see for yourselves. Toot has spent half the day hanging out of the window of the car taking photos. She is very excited! We only thought about it today that we should have bought a GoPro and attached it to the car so that we have video while driving of just how lovely the scenery really is. Who knows, there is always tomorrow.
After a few hours of driving we arrived in Stowe, our sleeping place for the next 2 nights, and had a little rest and decided where to eat dinner. The hosts of the B&B we are staying in are lovely. They are a married couple whose children have moved away and they now rent the rooms out for people to stay in. There is a communal lounge and dining area downstairs, with a TV (complimentary microwave popcorn if you want some while watching TV), board games, chess boards, and also a massive back yard area with some sun lounges so you can sit and ponder while gazing up at Mt Mansfield. Did I also mention that there is afternoon tea consisting of home baked cookies etc and tomorrow there will be a nice home cooked breakfast and some fruit and muffins.
After we had settled in, it was time to head for dinner (at pensioner hour). We headed to a local Italian restaurant and tried the local beer and cider. The cider was delicious and Gordo will need to do more experimenting at the boutique micro breweries before she can make an informed decision on the beers. After dinner we had a small stroll around the town and then headed back to our room for an early night. We were joking about how tired we were and saying it probably isn't even 8pm, only to look at the time and discover it was only 7:15pm.
It is now 8:30pm and we are both in PJ's, tucked up in bed and discussing what we will get up to tomorrow. All the while Toots hand is on the light switch asking if its lights out yet? Poor old thing!
So I guess that's it for us for today. Toot is now flicking the lights to say hurry times up.
There will be photos tomorrow as neither of us can be arsed getting up to get the card form the camera to upload them for you.
Sorry Marlene, you will have to wait just a little longer for the Vermont photos.
