Tom and his wife Linda renovated a farmhouse several years ago.
They are sugar farmers, producing over 500 gallons of maple syrup every year from the sugar woods on their property.
The town was celebrating the annual holiday plus the 250th birthday. There were three days of events including a flea market, antique car show, art show, live music, a BBQ and a lobster dinner which was delicious.
Every respectable Vermont town has a creamy stand (soft serve ice cream). The Whippi-Dip also serves up grilled and fried foods. We went twice!
Philip and I got out for two mountain bike rides. Here we are sharing the trail with a friendly neighbor who gave us great directions.
We took an evening trip to Hanover, NH. Strolled the campus of Dartmouth College and the quaint downtown.
On the 4th, Philip and I decided to take a 50 mile road bike trip...which ended up feeling like 100. I swear it was all uphill except the section where we road through a thunderstorm. It was so hot that we dried off in less than 10 miles.
Why get married? So you have a husband to change your flat tires. Sometimes I prefer not to be a modern woman. Philip is the perfect spouse.
Our ride headed south from West Fairlee to Norwich. Then we crossed the Connecticut River into Hanover biking north to cross the river again back into Vermont. Now Philip can say that he has visited New Hampshire.
The magical experience was topped off by spectacular fireworks over Lake Morey.
