Shelburne Farms

September 20, 2012

While we were visiting Ann and Bob in Burlington, we all went to Shelburne Farms.



It's a working farm, and an Inn on Lake Champlain. 



The first thing we came to was a display of some wooden things



Bob is a drummer, but not like Ringo Starr. He has a collection of African drums, and plays them in parades with his marching band.  Here's a video of Bob playing the drums at Shelburne Farms.

They had turkeys,



and chickens,



sheep and cows,



gardens,



The Inn is an old mansion, very fancy.



I like this picture. So easy to imagine a story around it.

Burlington - Lake Champlain

We stayed in Burlington, VT last summer visiting Ann and Bob. The RV park was right near Lake Champlain.



We went to see Ethan Allen's house.




They had some money from the early days, when Vermont was an independent country, before it became the 14th state.
