The state of Vermont is beautiful in the summer. Today we drove through some very scenic areas, but I only took photos of the place where we did a more extended hike.
The city of Stowe is famous for various activities and businesses, but we limited our time there to walking around the town and a hike to a nearby waterfall.
We spent some time at one spot along the river where the kids could splash in the water and play with the rocks.
The rest of the afternoon we drove south through the Green Mountains, enjoying the scenery and wishing we had more time to stop and hike or go for a ride on a river. At one roadside stop we sampled some of the maple products of a local vendor and purchased some yummy maple cream to enjoy at home.
We reached the hotel early enough for the kids to jump in for a (rather brisk) swim and then to enjoy a meal at a non-fast-food establishment.
