finally! I love Vermont, love being there, but my own bed has much to recommend it!
I had hoped to update more often while there, but we packed so much into the days we had that getting 5 or 6 hours sleep was hard to do; some nights it was only 4. I will give more detail in the coming days...with photos...
We ate in the car on the way home, rather than stopping, to try and make up some of the time we lost on Saturday as we "shopped" our way out of Vermont, trying to find a last few items for the grandkids and such. I drove 'til 1AM Sunday and made the "halfway" point, between Cleveland and Columbus when we stopped. Up at 8, out the door by 9, and after the time change we rolled into our driveway a few minutes after 9 last night. An offer of pizza got Bill and Laura to pick Angel up at my sisters and save us trying to pick her up before bed time or having to wait until tonight, so we unpacked and I started doing laundry.
The whole time we were there, people were complaining about the heat; it was in the upper 80's and low 90's. Right now, it's 96 and the heat index is 103; they're predicting 101 this afternoon!
I miss the Green Mountains!

Oh, welcome home! I have missed you.
Welcome back Alan..Were going through out own heat wave as well in Canada..ugh.
Hey Alan,
Ric and I may be going to Vermont this weekend. Any suggestions???
Glad to have you home safe and sound!
Can't wait to hear more about your vacation!!!
XOXO
Glad you are back home safe and sound Alan. Can't wait to see/hear more about your trip.
I just heard the guy on the radio ask what is up with the weather. Usually this heat is reserved for August and September. It is summer and the heat sucks no matter when or where!
Hope you catch up on your sleep!

Jon-Marc; if you can Google the Bennington Museum to get their hours, they are in southern Vermont and have a Rembrandt exhibit going on right now, along with the rest of their wonderful museum.
If cityscape interests you, Burlington is awfully nice, especially the downtown area and waterfront. Sailing cruises, kayak or sailboat rental, a public beach, lots of cool stuff going on especially in the summer months.
To the northeast there is St. Johnsbury, a gorgeous "old city" with the Fairbanks Museum, and the St. Johnsbury Atheneum (a library and art gallery contributed by another Fairbanks decendant).
I promise you that no matter where you drive in the Green Mountains, it will be one of the most beautiful places you've ever seen.
If you plan on being outside in the late afternoon, some kind of insect repellant is advisable, they've a pretty good crop of mosquitoes this year from all the rain!
:o)
