On the way out of town, we made a quick stop at Cascade Lakes, which capture both the lakes and mountains in one beautiful package.

We came home the longer, scenic way through Vermont, including the ferry across Lake Champlain! We timed it perfectly, driving on to the ferry just before it pulled out of the dock.

The day was mostly driving, but we did have a lunch stop at The Old Brick Store in Charlotte, a short jaunt around Middlebury College so Rowan could get a sense of the campus, and a small detour to a covered bridge.

Back home now to the realities of life – but well refreshed from our adventures in the Adirondacks!
