Plish and John bought a duplex here. They rent out one half, and use the other half as a second home in order to visit with their daughter Chris and her family...son-in-law Rhett, and grand daughters Izzy, and twins Aria and Sage. (Their son Jeff and his family live outside Grand Rapids, MI ).
Montpelier is the capitol of Vermont; this is the Capitol building seen as we passed through the city.
At the Hill Street home, we met up with Plish and John and grand daughter, Izzy, who had just finished a rally with friends in town.
From there we went to Chris and Rhett's home in Roxbury where we were treated to dinner and an introduction to the newly turned 4 year old twins, Aria (in foreground) and Sage.
The home is quite rustic, but oh, so homey.
And, on two acres of wooded land, a lot of room for a tree house...
campfire...
and of course, roasted marshmallows.
(It got dark quickly and some pictures didn't turn out...I apologize for not getting one of Chris or a better one of Rhett...or more of the kids...but we thank them all for such a nice evening)
The next day, we were going to go for a picnic, but it was overcast, so I asked John if he wouldn't mind driving to St Johnsbury. We did some shopping and had a good lunch in town, then stopped at this general store and post office in West Danville.
The next day, I needed to do laundry. Who could ask for a better friend than one who would be willing to sit with me while that tedious task was done? The guys did some "guy things" and then met us there.
Later, we walked into town and went to the Montpelier Library book sale.
John and Bob browsed a few selections in the foyer, and then we went downstairs to where there were more books. The library is really a beautiful old structure with granite and carved oak wood work through out After our downtown tour, we went back to the camp. Plish and John will head home to Bloomfield, NJ, tomorrow, and Bob and I will begin our trek to New Jersey also. We plan to see each other one day while we are there.
