Home Again, Home Again

I'm sorry it's been a few days since the last post. I've actually been putting it off because this will be the last entry and I don't want it to end. Rain again on Thursday made us decide to leave a day early. We had pretty much seen everything we wanted to anyway so we took our time packing up and checking out.
Back across New Hampshire and into Vermont to a place that a patient of mine had told me about that we didn't make it to on the way to Maine. Known as the "Grand Canyon of Vermont", Quechee gorge is an impressive 165-foot-deep canyon cut by the Ottauquechee River. We stop for pictures and go into the village to stretch our legs and get a few more souvenirs before heading on thru Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and into Pennsylvania for the night.
The next day we take our time travelling to Lititz, stopping at antique stores along the way. Into the Amish country of Lancaster County, PA we go where you really feel as if you've stepped back in time as you share the road with the horse and buggies of the Amish people. A few more stops are made here before heading home.
We're welcomed back to reality coming into Baltimore as the traffic slows down to a crawl and doesn't let up until we are south of DC. It's been such a peaceful New England vacation that you forget sometimes what it's like being back in the big cities. One last stop in Tappahannock for dinner at Lowery's and home.
I hope you've enjoyed my blog for this year's trip. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
