Promises Made, Promises Kept

After the harrowing day we had yesterday, my main objective today was to get back to the hotel before dark. I knew this is what the group needed and it was definitely what I needed. Our day was nicely laid out and turned out to be a very managable schedule. We went to the Vermont Country Store which was a big shopping and food tasting hit. We saw a beautiful waterfall and I took a group picture in a great settng...
We traveled on to Woodstock where we happened upon a bar-b-q on the village green. I think I spotted the ghost of Norman Rockwell. We then saw the Quechee Gorge and had ice cream at some picnic tables before we boarded the bus and went on to Hogback Mountain for a spectacular scenic view. My ducklings are very happy and I am certainly not quacking up. We got back to the hotel at 6:30 with daylight to spare. Some went into town to explore and some stayed at the hotel to unwind and prepare for tomorrow's journey into Massachusetts which will be an intense travel day with a stop at Williams College to see America's founding documents such as the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and The Articles of Confederation. Then it's on to Shelburne Falls and finally the Yankee Candle Factory before we head across the state to end up at the Nantasket Beach Hotel in Hull, MA for three nights.
PS...the meds arrived from London. So all-in-all a good day...no getting lost, no late arrivals and no passenger strokes.
