Yesterday we made a couple of scheduled stops along our route. First, we stopped at the Morse maple syrup farm in Montpelier, VT. It was small and quaint with a DVD made by the owner describing how they make real maple syrup.

Then we continued on to the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory, which we all enjoyed. I was especially impressed by the good things the company and the founders do for the environment and the world. Their ice cream isn't bad either. We were also amazed by how much ice cream they produce in such a small factory.

Another fun sight was the ferry we took to cross Lake Champlain. We didn't realize we were going to take a ferry, highway 74 just stopped and the ferry that continually runs came and got us and took us across. It was a cool experience.

Today we spent the day boating and tubing on the lake. We all enjoyed it as usual when we rent a speed boat.  Everything was perfect - the air just above 90 and the water a comfy 80 degrees. When we weren't actually motoring around we were swimming in the lake

Tomorrow is our last full day.  Monday we return the motorhome and fly home.

We also enjoyed docking at lunch time at the public metered docks and walking up to the various deli's for lunch.
