Stowe / Montpelier Vermont & Springfield Massachusetts

So on Saturday I traveled down from Burlington Vermont to a very cool little Vermont town called Stowe! It is known for it's Bed and Breakfast resorts and also the Van Trapp Family Lodge is here ... yes the family that was made famous for the Sound of Music! There family has a "Lodge" Resort up on the mountain over looking Stowe! It is as they say just a little bit of Austria in Vermont! and it is incredibly beautiful! unfortunately it was overcast and rainy while I was there visiting! so I traveled around the area checking out all of the sights! I also took a self guided tour of the Van Trapp Family Lodge ... here is a picture

... I guess I just acted like I was a guest there!




After hanging out in Stowe I traveled down the road to Montpelier Vermont! This is the State Capitol of Vermont and again is a very neat little town!


The gold dome of the capitol building is very reminiscent of the Iowa capitol building! but more in a New England kind of way! I also had lunch here in Montpelier at a cool little Wrap sandwich joint called Uncle Joes or something like that! It was incredible! best wrap I have had!
Here is one of the pictures of some cool doors that are in some of the old buildings in Montpelier


After that I traveled on down the road to Springfield Massachusetts! ... Did you know this is where the Basketball Hall of Fame is? well it is true! I have pictures! :)



So I just missed getting in as closing time was 5 ... so I decided to stay the night here in Springfield and get up in the morning and go to the Hall for some Hoops lore! plus the Adidas store is having a big sale! Then after I cruise through there I will be heading on down the rest of the way to Scranton / Clarks Summit!

as before more pictures are forth coming ... please be patient! :) & check out my photo section for the rest of the road trip photo shoot!

see ya all real soon!
