Today is a celebration of sorts for us.....49 years ago (8-24-68) Mark proposed! Once again he came thru with a fun day planned. Enterprise guy picked us up at 9 and took us to Troy and our car at the rental business.
A very scenic trip thru some neat little towns and lots of rural countryside. We checked out the 1st lock on the Champlain Canal - this will take you all the way to Montreal and hope to do that - maybe next year? Friends, Mark and Muffie took this route and having a wonderful time in Canada. We stopped in Glens Falls (cute little town and found a jeweler to fix my earring).
State Farm used to have a regional office in Saratoga Springs and we know someone who used to work at that office. It is no longer.....but the town is thriving and just soooo neat. We drove around and around and could NOT find a parking place. Sooo busy on a Thursday with people walking everywhere and such cute shops and restaurants. So, sadly that wasn't meant to be, but Mark gets an A+ for trying!!! Parking is free and the parking lots have a 48-hour limit!
Never saw that before.
Some fall color
We kept on heading north and tah dah, we came to Bennington, Vermont. Visited here in September, 2012 after the Maritime Provinces with Daisy. After a yummy lunch at The Madison Brewing Co., we found Bennington Potters, a lovely old building full of beautiful pottery and gifts. The potters were working away behind the store. We were here in 2012 and today, bought a few gifts.
Just like Alaska, out in the middle of nowhere, came upon a tiny coffee shop (The Lumber Jack) - had a maple latte and black coffee for Mark. It was only 71 today - a nip of fall in the air.

On back to Enterprise and got a ride to Catrina. Sure was a fun day seeing the sites in this spectacular part of our great USA!
Beautiful evening here in Waterford.....went for a walk along the water.
