Today was a day for traveling. Our adventure started with Burlington waterfront pics on Lake Champlain, on to Stowe, VT where the von Trapp family, of Sound of Music fame, bought and built an estate of 2500 acres after leaving Europe. We make a pit stop to stretch our legs and explore the grounds of this beautiful estate and it's memorabilia. The original family home was burned to the ground in 1980 but was rebuilt as a resort and today the Trapp Family Lodge is an inn run by the only living son of Maria and Captain von Trapp, Johannes, and his son Sam.
Traveling east on Vermont scenic Route 2 the next stop is made in Bethlehem, NH where a much needed lunch awaits us at Cold Mountain Café. Great little place with shopping for souvenirs next door and antiques galore. Many stops are made along the way for browsing in antique shops to Newry, Maine where our home for the next few days will be. The Grand Summit Resort Hotel at Sunday River is everything we hoped it would be after the long ride from Burlington.
