Now that our ducks are all in a row in the housing arena we finally had a free day to get out and do a little exploring. We drove 30 minutes to Bennington, Vermont and did a little sightseeing there. Vermont is beautiful, even in the dead of winter. I can't wait to go back in the summer and especially the fall!
One of the three covered bridges I made John drive me to today : )
The kids LOVED honking as we drove through the bridges!
Battle of Bennington Monument
Battle of Bennington was a Revolutionary War battle fought on Aug. 16, 1777
Statue of Major General John Stark of the Continental Army - "The Hero of Bennington."
His motto: "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils."
Cool drinking fountain.
Old First Church Est. 1762
In the church's cemetery we found the grave of the famous American poet Robert Lee Frost.
Porter and Gabe each toss a penny on his grave.
The last couple of weeks have been stressful and unfun to say the least. Even though it was cold, it was nice to get out and do something fun today. It also has me excited to get out and do more exploring in the area!
