October 18, 2026 – A weekend in Vermont

This weekend Wilma, Gus, and I spent our time in Vermont. We stayed in a rural, old cabin in Bethel. I was thrilled to be close to one our favorite parks – Marsh Billings Rockefeller Park so were able to visit each day, which was perfection. We did a daytrip farther up North on Saturday, allowing us to check out the spectacular Lake Willoughby. There were whipping winds causing for lovely waves on the beautiful blue water. Although past peak there were still some colors on the mountains that framed the Lake. We explored the beach, and Wilma enjoyed a nearby spot for resting. Unfortunately the beach on the north was not dog friendly but we still drove around to check out the sights.

Our other adventures on the weekend included: searching for colorful foliage, ice cream and breakfast, covered bridges, and resting and play time at our little airbnb. Although the sun only came out at the end, our weekend was just right. Thankful to be living in New England in the Fall.

October 18, 2026 – Schoolhouse Covered Bridge – Vermont

This weekend Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the Schoolhouse Covered Bridge in Lyndon, Vermont. The Schoolhouse Covered Bridge was built in 1871 and traverses the Passumpsic River. It is now preserved for pedestrians.

We had a simple adventure to the Schoolhouse Covered Bridge. The Bridge appeared to be off the road in the grass but must be where the previous road was located. We strolled through and back, checking out the colors around. Gus became quite nervous, I believe from the unexpected sound of the flag. I therefore let him hop back into the car while Wilma and I posed for a couple additional shots. The Bridge was far from spectacular, but as you may know I am always up for exploring a new bridge. Glad to cross the Schoolhouse Covered Bridge from the list (Rating: 2.5).

June 29, 2026 – A day in Vermont

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I adventured to Vermont. Our locations included: Woodstock, Plymouth, and the Mountain Creamery. I also stopped at numerous places to snap photographs and take in the scenery.

Our first stop was to Marsh Billings Rockefeller Park, which has become one of my favorite parks. It has trails, gardens, farm scenery, and unique buildings. On the opposite end I found a random, beautiful stream in Plymouth. It was small, singing, and lovely. And of course, we could not resist some ice cream at the Mountain Creamery, a perfect location for those traveling with precious pups. These were some of our highlights of the day.

Both Wilma and Gus enjoyed rolls in the grass! Wilma devoured her ice cream and enjoyed wading in the stream, while Gus loved licking the wet grass (haha) and tracking the new scents. It was our first summer trip, and a lovely day. So glad to get a daytrip in before the heat wave comes to town!

October 20, 2025 – Weekend Getaway in Vermont.

This weekend Wilma, Gus, myself, and my parents Adventured to a lovely Airbnb in Wardsboro, Vermont, along the Wardsboro Brook. The home was very nice, unique, and it had a little fenced yard to relax and enjoy the Autumn colors, smells, and sounds. Although the Brook was not seen directly from the home, the sound of water sang lovely songs from afar. We enjoyed great company, homemade food, and relaxing in a perfect location. We even got to watch the Patriots game, another exciting win! It was a peaceful setting which was just right. So glad we could enjoy a weekend away! (This blog will not be rated).

October 18, 2025 – A Day in Vermont

Yesterday, Wilma, Gus, and I adventured to Vermont as we headed to our weekend away. Our locations included: Woodstock, Plymouth, and the Mountain Creamery. I also stopped at numerous places to snap photographs and take in the scenery. Wilma loved laying in the leaves and sun while Gus was the champ of the rolls on this day (haha). I was pleased to see there was plenty of fall foliage still close to peak and especially loved the colors reflected on the water. I was thrilled to find the Mountain Creamery with a window for ordering, just perfect for traveling with pups. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, maple milkshake, and two dog ice creams – I was very impressed with my goodies, and the pups devoured their ice cream. The weather was perfect Fall, and we could not have had a better day. So thankful for a lovely Autumn Day of Adventures (This blog will not be rated)

July 26, 2025 – A Day In Vermont!

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Vermont for the Day. Our destinations included some of our favorite places like Marsh-Billings Rockefeller National Historic Park, and scenic views in Plymouth. The other areas we explored included: Florence, Pittsford, Quechee and various other stops along the way. Wilma and Gus loved rolling in the grass, eating some tasty ice cream, and a day out of exploring. I was happy to have a cooler day, and loved Marsh-Billings as always, some tasty maple ice cream, and endless flowers. It was a simple day, but yet just what we needed. So glad to enjoy a day trip today with my furry best buds! (This blog will not be rated)

July 26, 2025

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the Depot Covered Bridge in Pittsford, Vermont. The bridge is a lattice bridge which was built in 1840 and later went renovations. It traverses the Otter Creek.

We had a simple Adventure to the Depot Covered Bridge. I was pleased to find a bridge away from homes, and in a quieter location, however the traffic that came through did drive at a high speed. The bridge was a bit dull and had limited views of the Creek from the road. I loved finding wildflowers around the bridge, and of course Wilma and Gus enjoyed a bit of exploring the small area before a quick couple of poses. So glad to cross off yet another covered bridge form our list (Rating: 2.5).

August 22, 2024 – Park-McCullough Historic House – Vermont

Yesterday, Wilma, Gus, and I had a lovely, long daytrip that included five main adventures. I will be posting two of these (which happen to be the smaller ones) as the others I have blogged about previously.

Yesterday, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the Park-McCullough Historic House in Bennington, Vermont. The Park-McCullough Historic House is a Victorian mansion built between 1864-1865. It was originally owned by Trenor W. Park, a wealthy entrepreneur. Park’s descendants made additional renovations before later entertaining President Benjamin Harrison as a guest. The Park-McCullough Historic House Association, a non-profit organization, currently owns the home and offers tours. The home is also utilized for special events.

We had a lovely Adventure to the Park-McCullough Historic House. We arrived as the sun was setting and headed straight for the gardens. The gardens were simple, yet lovely. We explored the grounds, the massive porch, and as much as we could locate. Both the pups enjoyed rolls, and the smells of the new area. There were other visitors wandering the grounds and locals walking with their dogs on leash. I loved watching the sun streaming through the trees, locating the little house-like structure, and of course the flower gardens. We took our time at this House before heading off to our last location. So glad we could Adventure to the Park McCullough House yesterday (this blog will not be rated).

July 26, 2024 – A Day in Vermont

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Vermont for the Day. Our destinations included some of our favorite places like Marsh-Billings Rockefeller National Historic Park, and some new locations like the Mosely Covered Bridge. You will find besides this blog I also posted a blog for the Moseley Covered Bridge to include in my Covered Bridge section of the blog.

Today was a gorgeous day, not too hot or humid, and a nice breeze. Wilma and Gus enjoyed walking through the woods, smelling the scents of nature, and rolling in the grass. Wilma especially relished laying in the shade, while Gus appeared to be searching for some creature in the grass, which made his adorable little tail wag as fast as can be. It was a relaxing day with some of everything. The colors were brilliant! I loved spending the time with these two and appreciating the great outdoors. Life has been challenging recently, and this was just what the soul needed. So glad we could Adventure to Vermont today, below you will find a photo collage of our Adventures.

July 26, 2024 – Stony Brook/Moseley Covered Bridge – Vermont

Today, Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to the Stony Brook/Moseley Covered Bridge in Northfield, Vermont. This bridge is a wooden bridge that crosses Stony Brook. It was built in 1899 and is one of two remaining 19th century King post trus bridges in Vermont.

We had a peaceful Adventure to the Stony Brook/Moseley Covered Bridge. I had some difficulty locating it, and then surprisingly found it accidentally. The bridge was in a quiet and peaceful area, and had little traffic passing through. I took photographs from each end and down the river and of course made sure the pups posed for their expected bridge photograph. The bridge was falling apart on one side, but yet the red, and simplicity of the bridge still made a nice scene. So glad we could visit the Stony Brook/Moseley Covered Bridge today (Rating: 3).
