Another tip [not that you asked *LOL*] but if you’re headed west and hooking up I-91 in Vermont, you should stop at FarmWay, in Bradford, VT.
[We affectionately call it *North Overalls*]
FarmWay is wonderful ...it surpasses Kittery Trading Post with depth and breadth of rooms to wander through and good gear to buy/try on. And lacks the crowds of tourists. Very pleasant stop. Nothing is cheap but selection is incredible [unless they are running an end-o-season sale w/ discounts]
And if you have kids....put a penny on the RR tracks that run alongside the store. Great fun!
VT Country Store is south a piece; few minutes off I-91 in Rockingham. Bring me back some maple nut fudge. :)
No no no! This is great...my wife and I are heading up that way this weekend! Gives me ideas...:)
A grateful thank you!
If you have time stroll the cemetery.
It's so beautiful. The caretaker may be there, you can get inside to see the wonderful box pews. I love this building; to me, it's more impressive than Mt. Vernon or Monticello. Simple architecture for a simple people who formed the backbone of this Nation.
Sorry, I got carried away. :) Have great fun! We were up there last Friday.
I do greatly appreciate it.
I can always think of things to do and places to go, but my wife seems to have a much broader store of these things than I do, mostly because she has lived around here longer than I have, and her parents were very history minded and took them to a lot of places.
For me, to be able to suggest something she hasn’t been to or seen (and I know she hasn’t been to these) is pure gold for me!
As for the Vermont Country Store...Love it! I like the one that has the burger place right next to the entrance...I get one of those old fashioned sodas, and a nice, greasy tasty cheeseburger on a grilled bun, and we sit in one of the swinging chairs and eat our stuff as we watch the people come and go!
I mean it-thanks again!
Mildred’s Dairy Bar! Nice spot for a respite.
I imagine this last weekend of the summer, it will be mobbed.
