So the Wednesday Vermont adventure involved hiking at Lowell Lake in Vermont.
The hike around the pretty lake was nice, but it was especially interesting to come across this old cemetery.
Not only did we know it was old because of the condition of the gravestones, but because several graves had Revolutionary War Medals on them!
After the hike, we were starving. Luckily there is a good deli close by. Except the deli featured all organic food. Hah, only in Vermont would you have an organic deli. Shhh, don’t tell Mr. Ken that it was organic. 🙂
We then did the quintessential Vermont experience by visiting the Vermont Country Store.
This store is filled with all sorts of items from the past. Do you recognize any of these items?
Driving home from the Vermont Country Store, we hit a thunderstorm. Boy, there is nothing like experiencing a thunderstorm in the mountains. The thunder was loud and the clouds were amazing.
All in all, another fabulous day in Vermont.

Hi Judi,
Yes, the trip was wonderful. We bought some very pretty coffee mugs, made by a local VT artisan. Every morning, we enjoy our coffee in them and think about our fun trip.

Hey Steve!
Yes, the Vermont vacation was fantastic. We appreciated it even more since this was the first time we have left the house since the pandemic started.

Reading this about Vermont makes me want to cook French toast with maple syrup. Interesting about the graves with the war medals.

I recognize that “seasoned” looking hiker in the photo! 🙂 I enjoyed every minute of our Vermont adventure and can’t wait until we can do it again (or something equally exciting).

Did you drive through the thunderstorm? I don’t like driving in heavy rain …

Hi Ju-Lyn,
Yes, we actually got caught in the thunderstorm. Luckily Mr. Ken was driving since it got very dark and the rain was pouring down. We were also on a kind of winding country road. I’m glad Mr. Ken was driving.
