Vermont is Better Than Walmart

Today we did some serious traveling and site-seeing and tour-planning. After we left the Bennington Walmart behind, we traveled on Rt 9 east to Willmington and then north on Rt 100. We found the Stratton Mountain Inn, which is where my tour group will spend 2 nights. I went in and introduced myself to the desk person and picked up some brochures and maps, took some pictures and continued on to find Woodstock Vermont. On the way we stopped at The Vermont Country Store which is a destination in itself. It's actually about 6 buildings of stores selling everything from hand crafts to candy to clothing to rugs to hardware, souvenirs, maple syrup, maple candy, jams and jellies, cheese, toys, books, gadgets, nice stuff, silly stuff, fun stuff, boring stuff, edible stuff, and every other kind of stuff you could ever want and never need. Definitely on the agenda for my tour group.

As we continued on to Woodstock we saw a covered bridge or two and the Quechee Gorge and various other scenic wonders and Vermont vistas.

Tonight we are staying at the Hidden Acres Campground which is a few steps up from Walmart.

Tomorrow...on to Massachusetts!
