In June I made the trip to Vermont for my daughters wedding. She was married at Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont. One of Vermont's jewels that includes a steamer side paddle wheel boat, hand carved circus figures and a collection of painting by popular artists such as Monet and Granadma Moses.

| The first thing I noticed was how spread out everything was. There
were lush fields of deep green grass, red barns with tall silos. Dotted
along the roadways were farms with gift shops that made their own maple
syrup, fresh cheeses and homemade sausage. I was in food paradise! |

Looking out from my house rental along Lake Champlain. All the rentals had kayaks and canoes.
Nothing better in the morning than grabbing a cup of coffee and paddling out on the lake. |
