Day 3 - Milford to Great Barrington

I woke up at the back of 4 again this morning cos my body hates me. It did mean that, after a quick hotel breakfast, we were out nice and early. We drove through the backroads of Connecticut and it looked exactly how you would imagine the backroads of Connecticut to look. There were lots of giant wooden houses, lots of trees and plenty of natural beauty. Unfortunately, it is a wee bit too early down here for proper fall foliage but the leaves are starting to change a bit. Our first stop was in the charming Washington Depot, we stopped in at Marty's Cafe for a coffee (which was delightful) but it got interesting when we popped into The Hickory Stick bookshop next door. The woman working there was English but was delighted to tell us she was actually born in Paisley, small world. The interesting part was when she asked us if we'd seen The Gilmore Girls (obviously) and then told us the town had been part of the inspiration for Stars Hollow in the series. She then told us it had ...

Day 7 - Stowe to North Conway

We woke up to a very chilly Stowe, the temperature has def dropped dramatically since the early sunny days. It was dry at least! We had breakfast in the hotel, pancakes and bacon with lashings of Vermont Maple syrup, then hit the road. We were sad to leave the Stowehof behind because it was an absolute dream. We were also leaving Vermont behind as our first stop for the day was Littleton, New Hampshire. Littleton was high on K's list as it is home to Chutters which has the worlds longest candy counter. K was the proverbial kid in a sweet shop and danced around with her pic n mix bag, absolutely delighted. We went a wee walk around town and it was all very cute, there was even a covered bridge in the centre of town. There was even some nice street art but one seemed a bit sarky, it said: "welcome" to Littleton! Pushing on from Littleton we headed for Flume Gorge. The drive was beautiful as it was mountains and foliage on all sides. Flume Gorge is a walk through a narro...

Day 4 - Great Barrington to Brattleboro

The morning started at 430am (urgh) and i discovered torrential rain pouring down. Dang. Our first planned stop for today was a drive to the peak of Mount Greylock so heavy rain was the last thing we needed. We didn't set off quite as early and the rain calmed down so we were hopeful that the drive was still a-go. Before setting off we had to get some petrol for the first time - always a joy working out how it all works. We got some gas station coffees and we were off. The colours seemed to have popped more over night so even with the rain it all still looked beautiful. As we approached the mountain the rain got heavy again and we realised we could hardly see the top half. We decided to push on and see how we went but when we got to the welcome centre we were already in cloud so we decided that it wasnt worth the trouble. We did have a wee look round the exhibits in the centre to see what we were missing out on. Last night we bought those wee pots of cereal and some milk and we ...
