Quechee Gorge, VT

Quechee Gorge
Earlier this week Chris, Sam and I hiked 3/4 of a mile down 163 feet into the Quechee Gorge. It was a beautiful hike until......we had to hike out! I must say, it was a big help, having an 86lb. lab pull you up the trail. This Florida Girls legs are getting a work out! After the hike we treated ourselves to lunch outside at Dana's by the Gorge. The owner took Sam's picture to put on face book to promote a "dog friendly" restaurant. We now have a celebrity in the family. Chris and I recommend the Rubin but Sam voted for the Hamburger.
 
I have just started downloading pictures on photo bucket, so if you like open the link to see more pictures. 
 
 
Windsor Covered Bridge, VT (longest in US)


Today I visited the longest covered bridge in the US. It connects VT and NH crossing the Connecticut River. It has a span of 204.6 feet. I also visited the Quechee Covered Bridge and had lunch at the Simon Pearce Glassblowing Studio and Restaurant.
 
This has been a wonderful area to visit. We stopped by the Sugarbush Farm and sampled 14 different kinds of cheese and 4 types of Maple Syrup.  They had a little Chapel on the Farm where couples can get married. Here is another link with additional pictures. Tomorrow is moving day and we are off to Maine.
