| We left in the morning and drive to this state which was famous for maple syrup and dairy products. Vermont also was the last New England state to be settled. Claimed by both New York and New Hampshire, Vermont framed a constitution in 1777. We stopped for a restroom in a small craftstores on the way to Rutland.....geee.....thanks GOD, snow flakes......horeey........:-). We stopped to the museum of American best-known art, Norman Rockwell (1894-1978). After payed the admission for US$4/person, we enter the museum. Chronological display covering the entire span and diversity of Rockwell's career, showing the development of Rockwell as a commercial illustrator and reflecting the political, economic and cultural history of the United States in the first three quarters of this century. Green Mountain National Forest The area was so gorgeous. Colorful fall leaves on the mountains makes me want to cryed because of so wonderful. Our planned to have lunch at a picnic table on the national park was cancell because of the rain. So, we drove to Green Mountain Restaurant, the best restaurant in town, even we had to waited because of long lines. After had delicious lunch, we were driving some more, and found a small Falls by the street, and again, big snow flakes like a corn falled over entire area. There's two stalls selling maple syrup and candies here, but the price was more expensive than in a store. Before went back home, we stop at the store called D. Lasser Ceramics to buy maple syrup, cheese, fudge, candies, and some souvenirs. All the pottery here is made by artists in their studio in an old barn where their carefully shape and glaze their clay. |
