More Vermont Fall Foliage

Yesterday we got moving a little slower than we'd hoped, but were out the door by 10.  Our first stop, which was actually intended for Sunday was the Joseph Smith birth place.  It was a bit chilly and there isn't a lot to see but the sights were beautiful.  I did learn that one of the reasons the Smith's left Sharon, VT when Joseph Smith was 3 because they had 3 years of crop failure.  One year they had 31 inches of snow in June. 

 I think we have probably said the words, "so pretty" at least a hundred times today, because everything around here is so pretty.  After Sharon, we were off for some cheese and maple syrup tasting at Sugarbush Farm, which we got to via some very country dirt roads.  How these people function amongst the snow covered roads I'll never know.  There was definitely some deliciousness here.


We stopped off in Woodstock, a very cute country town with a covered bridge, which is so Vermont.

 On the road again for a bit before right out of the mountain a most beautiful waterfall, where we got some pretty fantastic pictures.

 Then onto Waterbury, VT...of course we went to Ben and Jerry's, isn't that why people go there?  We had the most delicious 7 layer coconut/magic bar ice cream ever!



The Cold Hollow Cider Mill, yes we bought some delicious homemade cider, freshly made at the mill.

Stowe, VT is famous for the steepled white church and there are pictures all over VT of it.  We did our own version at dusk, not the best photo's, but they are ok.  The last time we were here we had dinner at The Pie In The Sky Pizza Parlor and we remembered it was yummy so that's were we had dinner and yes they didn't disappoint either.  Back to the very dark road...we stayed in Craftsbury which is very north, meaning no cell or internet service.  We stayed in a lady's home which is a bed and breakfast that was built in 1905.  It was just about the most vintage, cutest thing ever.  In our travels here in New England, we have seen several white churches as in every town has at least a few all with very tall steeples, as well as a country store.
