Vermont and New Hampshire

Today we drove into Vermont and New Hampshire. Both are beautiful places, it makes me wonder why the helk we live in Indiana. The road we traveled through Vermont brought us through many small towns all filled with local shops and almost no chain stores, or restaurants.

Bennington, VT also had all of these neat statues that were often difficult to distinguish from pedestrians. Kara took pictures of all of the ones we came across. Her love of taking pictures of strangers was given the opportunity to get close up and creative.

It was the type of town that would be nice to live in, but traveling through with three hungry people who are reluctant to try new things, the Olive Garden in NH was a welcome sight.

While in Vermont we stopped at a cemetery where Robert Frost is buried.


The cemetery also held the remains of a number of Revolutionary War soldiers, their graves were marked with flags. It was neat, but because all soldiers were men, the feminist in me wanted to also show recognition of the women who sacrificed and would have even been willing to give their lives for freedom.


We then made it to the coast and spent a little time walking on the beach.



Tim reminded me of his father when he decided to start getting in the water when all we intended to do was walk on the beach.


Today's drive was a little long for the third driving day, and through the winding mountain roads that were beautiful but slow. We are looking forward to a little less time in the car tomorrow.
