Our Trip to Vermont

Well, here we are for our First Visit to Vermont, staying at the Von Trapp Family Lodge (which is run by the Von Trapp Family of Sound of Music fame). Beautiful rolling hills here, heavily wooded and reminiscent of Oregon - except that we are surrounded by these old towns, many of which date back several hundred years.


It seems everywhere you go, you see a white church steeple ahead of you with this gorgeous backdrop of trees.


Sunday morning, we went to Church in Montpelier (about 30 minutes drive from Stowe) - a nice little ward.

On the drive down to Sharon (Joseph Smith's birthplace, we saw a lot of damage from the storm Irene -- a number of rivers overflowing their banks and causing a lot of flooding and debris.

Oh wow it is so beautiful and green over there! And I love all the covered bridges that you took pictures of. It just makes you want to wear a scarf and walk around with hot chocolate... which is funny cause it's probably warm over there but those pictures just remind me of chilly weather!

Those are the cutest little churches ever. Like a piece out of time! I bet the little town folk are just as cute.
