Because our next hotel is only an hour and twenty minutes away, we were able to have a lazy and slow morning. By 11am we checked out and got some advice from the front desk about where to explore. We headed north and saw the longest covered bridge in Vermont. We continued to Newfane and stopped at the Newfane Country Store. So many amazing quilts... it was a very cool little country store.
We continued on through Townshend and past the Scott Covered Bridge (which is now closed) but stopped to check it out. We drove through Wardsboro and then turned south and headed into Mount Snow resort. On the way down from the 'mountain' we stopped to see the 100 mile view, which on a clear day allows you to see all the way to Boston. Today was lovely and warm with humidity and haze, so we couldn't see a full 100 miles. We continued back into Brattleboro for a late lunch at Friendly's (great ice cream sundaes). New England loves their ice cream!
After lunch we headed south and drove straight through New Hampshire and into Connecticut to East Windsor. I ventured out for some geocaching. We went to a local pub for a late dinner and there was a trivia night. We did pretty well and ended up winning a $10 gift certificate. Second last night... it's a little bitter sweet, I'm ready to be home but have really enjoyed New England!
