Just back from a quick overnight trip to the Middlebury area with a duel purpose - a beautiful tented outdoor memorial service and party on cousin Will's amazing 300 acre farm for Aunt Cynthia yesterday and dropping off Thibault at camp this morning. We spent the night at the Shoreham Inn which dates from 1790. Sadly for Nora there were no reported ghosts though the kid's were housed in the Civil War Room which was decorated with creepy photos of men from the era. A large photo of a scary baby facing Thibault's bed had to be covered with a hand towel overnight. Our Green Mountain Room was more neutral. Overall it was beautiful, quirky and with comfy beds and we all liked the locally-made organic bar soap, foaming hand soap and shower shower gel!
Breakfast was excellent coffee, juice, freshly-baked muffins, perfect blueberry flapjacks with a choice of light or amber maple syrup and maple sausage. Quite the start to the day. After an unsuccessful geocaching attempt at a covered RR bridge we dropped off Thibault :( and headed home via the Fort Ti ferry over Lake Champlain with a quick stop to buy cherries for the ride at a nearby farm (we suffered a bit from Sylvain's overindulgence). In the same family for four generations, the farm offers six varieties of pick your own cherries and thirteen varieties of pick your own strawberries. Who knew?
