A Beautiful New England Fall Foliage Trip (2)

After leaving Cumberland, MD, we took a side trip to State College, PA, the home of Penn State University. It's truly a beautiful campus! Fortunately the Saturday football game was away.

We found Penn State's campus full of stately, well-preserved buildings. Many are sorority and fraternity houses.

We continued north following I-87, stopping for an early dinner in Albany, NY. From there it was on to Lake George where we spent the night.

The next morning we continued north, around Lake George, crossing into Vermont at Crown Point, NY. We stopped in Burlington, VT to visit The Christmas Loft. If you love Christmas decorations, this store is very unique and truely worth the time.

From Burlington we continued south to Stowe, VT for a visit to The Von Trapp Family Lodge.

You will remember the Von Trapp name from "The Sound of Music"

A luxury resort in the European tradition.

The Green Mountains around Stowe were nothing short of stunning! These pictures don't begin to do it justice.

Of course we stopped to buy genuine Vermont Maple Syrup.

The fall colors were everywhere.

We found colorful, roadside Hay Bale Art throughout Vermont.

We continued south to Mount Montpelier, the capitol of Vermont.
