hillsides? Aren't the trees amazing? (or) "Isn't this village just the cutest? Look at that white
church and that cool steeple." "Look at that house - can you believe it and that cool barn!"
Well, that's about it for New England.
We take each day as it comes. We often drive in the direction of the only campground that is still open in the area. The last one was in Stowe, Vermont - the famous ski resort where Billy Kidd (Olympic skier that we were all in love with back in the day) grew up and learned to ski. It was surely a quintissential NE village. We had a blast. I kept trying to take a picture of this church steeple because it surely is the highest one in New England. We stayed for two days enjoying the sights and sounds.
We then took the back roads heading for New Hampshire. We stumbled apon Bath - a rather famous small village with the longest covered barn in NH. We enjoyed it so much and stayed for quite awhile. (Check the next blog for more pictures of Bath) We met an artist that had moved to Bath (close to our age maybe younger) from Orange County, CA. He was a very neat guy who had moved with his wife after a tour to view fall foliage. He couldn't say enough about the lifestlye - country living - quiet and peaceful and close community. It sounded idylic.
Enjoy the covered bridge! Jon especially wanted you to see the interior construction. Oh - by the way the bridge
was built in 1832. If it was hot or snowing the folks parked their buggies inside while shopping or at church.

You could not have picked a better time to be where you are. I'm only sorry I missed some of these sights while Amy lived back east. You've just completed what we didn't get to, so thanks!
By the way...Pete is doing great! We are carving pumpkins next week (with Trinity). Hope to put a fun one together for Alex as well.
Trek on, dear ones. As as my good friend Ashleigh Brilliant would say..."I adjust very easily- give me everything I had at home and I can live anywhere!" So, if you haven't found the perfect potted plant for your home on wheels, today might be a good day to do that :) XXX Love you
