We've seen some interesting things over the last couple of days and I took a lot of photos, but tonight is just a brief overview of what we've seen. I'll come back later and post more details. While we were in Bennington, Vermont, we found several interesting things to do. We went to the Bennington Museum, which has some excellent exhibits.
And, big surprise, we went to the Hemmings Motor News Museum.
The Bennington Battle Monument is the tallest building in Vermont at 306 feet tall. We rode the elevator up to the 200 foot level and had a spectacular view.
We stopped at the Covered Bridge Museum.....
....and also at several covered bridges.
We left Bennington and drove to New Hampshire and stopped at Hogback Mountain for a panoramic view.
Along the way through Vermont and New Hampshire we passed through many small towns, all with some beautiful old buildings.
The day was overcast, but the colorful leaves more than made up for that.
We spent the night at Nashua, New Hampshire, where fellow bloggers Beatrice and Grenville from The Frog and Penguin are vacationing. It was a treat to meet them and have dinner with them. We've had lovely weather so far, but this morning was rainy. We stopped at the Budweiser Brewing Co. for a tour, and visited their famous Clydesdales. Check out Beatrice's post about the tour and Clydesdales.
It continued to rain all day, but we spent the afternoon traveling up into Maine. Tonight we are staying near Portland, Maine, and are planning on driving along the coast tomorrow. The predictions are for thundershowers tomorrow but clearing up on Saturday. I hope the forecast is accurate--well, maybe not the thundershowers part!
