A Visit to Vermont...State #35

Today I decided to go to another state I have never been to before...Vermont

I drove back roads from Brattleboro to Bennington and was lucky enough to drive through Wilmington, Vermont just as their Memorial Day parade was beginning.



I decided to stop and was very moved by this small town's simple yet powerful Memorial Day parade. I truly was lucky to be there at just the right time...

In Bennington, I visited the very historical "Old First Church", where Robert Frost is buried...



I then headed to the Bennington Battle Monument to learn more about the Battle of Bennington.



Vermont is a very beautiful state where everything seems to revolve around maple syrup. Everything I bought today had maple in it...a maple soda, maple drops, maple suckers and even wine with some maple in it!

My 33rd State...New Hampshire.

Recently, I decided that I wanted to visit all 50 states. With today's trip to New Hampshire, I have now been to 33 states. I am not including states I have flown over...just been to personally.

I mapped a route from Brattleboro to Concord and traveled down country roads. I had no real agenda mapped out, I just went where ever the Spirit moved me.

To be honest, New Hampshire looked a lot like Alabama...at least Alabama in the spring. I am sure New Hampshire looks NOTHING like Alabama in the winter.

Here are a few photos I took...click on the photos to see a bigger version.

You can see all of the pics I took on this adventure on my Flickr account.
