Vermont Vacation...a Montpelier hike


Thom and Joan (the Millbrook innkeepers) had the day off so they joined us on a very nice hike! Who woulda thunk that behind the capital building was a beautiful park unlike any other city park I've been in. We hiked for hours -- sometimes in the park, sometimes not. We crossed roads, went through a summer camp and best of all -- we found water for the dogs to swim in.




We had to hold Harley back from jumping in so Riley could get his chance at fetching the stick.

After our city park hike, we ended up in downtown Montpelier where we had yummy hot dogs and cheeseburgers from one of the street cart vendors. I was in for a huge surprise too when we ran into my friend, Howard, who stopped for lunch in Montpelier on his way to Montreal for a work meeting!

Since the Millbrook Restaurant was closed that evening, we enjoyed a delicious dinner that Thom cooked for us...it definitely wasn't on their usual menu.
We had a great day in great company.
