During our first week of settling in, we found a nearby trail and our first covered bridge. After receiving many recommendations, we visited Sanctuary Ice Cream for some local creations. Naturally, our first weekend in the new place saw a temperature drop and 3 days of clouds and rain. We headed north to escape the rain and were able to see Montpelier and Lake Champlain. The pictures don’t do Lake Champlain justice. It’s beautiful, a huge lake ringed with tree covered mountains, I hope we get to go back and spend more time there. We then headed to the scenic ocean route to see New Hampshire’s 22 miles of coastline and stopped for a much anticipated lobstah lunch. Part of the fun of a new place is finding new foods, so far nothing crazy except for “fiddleheads”, which we haven’t tried yet.
