VERMONT - PITTSFORD








On Sunday us newbies were taken on a bit of trip around Vermont.
Well actually it was just two places not the whole of Vermont.
The first place was Shelburne Museum which is kind of like Sovereign Hill for those of you who live in Victoria.
Only without all the people dressed in costume.
And without the light show.
And without……..alright it‘s not really like Sovereign Hill.
Well apart from the fact that it‘s an historical place. Lots of old buildings have been relocated to this one site & each one houses different things from ye olden days. Art, toys, tools, wagons etc…. there is even an old boat (kind of like the Titanic only on a smaller scale). The first photo is Tim & I with some old moose that has seen better days & the second is me in the old jail cell.
There was also a gift shop.
I bought a Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream with a biscuit base that is covered in chocolate.
Yum!
We stopped for lunch at ………… somewhere…………& then went to Bristol Falls to go swimming. There was a great spot to jump off a rock ledge into the river which I didn’t do but have attached a photo of Amy in mid jump. The water was really cold so good call on my part to pass (also the knee was still a bit dodgy).
We went over to the girls camp that night for a bbq.
