CT to VT to NH 2024

Up next, a visit with Yaya and Papa. We had dinner at The Collective with Uncle Geoff, Tobin, and Aunt Jessica.

I spent A LOT of time playing with Theo

and Coby. I LOVE them.

Then we headed up to Vermont. Is this the nicest welcome center ever?

We rode our bikes from Waitsfield to Bristol.

This required going over the Lincoln Gap. It is the highest vehicle-accessible mountain pass in Vermont and steepest paved mile in the US.

It was hard,

but I made it.

The next day we rode from Bristol to Rochester. I indulged in a creemee.

I also had a bit of fun with the light fixture in our room.

The last day we rode from Rochester back to Waitsfield. This ride required two gaps. No problem after riding Lincoln Gap, right?

WRONG, Braintree gap was basically a 4-wheel/drainage ditch. We pushed our bikes for a long time.

Before our second pass, we stopped for a swim in Roxbury Falls.

When I made it back, I was tired, but it was my birthday and there was an ice cream cake waiting for me.

Yaya and Papa had some temperature control issues, but I knew whose cake it was.

The next day, we all went blueberry picking.

And, I went swimming in the Mad River.

Then we went to American Flatbread for some delicious pizza.

I ended the trip with a MAPLE creemee.

We stopped by Dad’s friend, JP’s, house on our way to the Cape. He had two amazing dogs and one super cool cat. Here I am with their Newfie, Alta. He was bigger than The Mother and didn’t get up much, but I thought he was pretty awesome.

We stopped at the Dartmouth Skiway. on our way out of town.
