Terry’s trip

Terry is going to return back home from a month-long trip on the 29th.  He’s been exploring Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Quebec City on a Haller-esque (manic, “We’re not here to have fun!  We’re here to see and do as much as humanly possible!”) driving trip.  You can read his blog and see some of his lovely pictures here.

A couple days ago, Terry sent me the following note.  It made me smile, so I thought I’d share.

I am staying in perhaps the most mind-boggling hotel I have ever stayed in.  Calling it a “hotel” is something of a misnomer — it is a gilded age 110-room Vanderbilt mansion, and I am staying in a gorgeous room.  It is called Shelburne Farms, near Burlington Vermont.  It is an interesting blend of Terry (ultra posh, gorgeous in every respect) with Althea (nonprofit devoted to environmental
education and sustainability, nice).

  1. We’ve been to Shelburne Farms several times, and I never knew there was an Inn associated. I *do* know that there is an excellent general store in Shelburne with an outstanding bulk candy selection!

    1. Didja hear that, T? If you’re still in the region (which I’m sure you’re not since you’re on the go, go, go, check out the bulk candy selection at the general store!

      Terry and I used to love visiting the candy shop in Minocqua. BAGS of hard candy and toffee…chocolates…fudge. Ahhh, memories.
