Mama's Happy

October 12th-I think that today was one of my favorite days.  We got up and after breakfast rode the 10 mile Stowe Bike Path.  It was awesome.  The colors had just peaked and the farmland and river were all so beautiful.  It fulfilled my dream of seeing Vermont in the fall and it surpassed all my expectations.  The trail had 10 bridges that crossed the river and we had our lunch in a little rustic gazebo along the river.  Coasting dwownhill in the midst of the glorious surroundings in the company of my family was a true blessing and wonderful memory.  We stopped by the Laughing Moon Chocolate Store afterwards where they were making and giving free samples of chocolate caramel cashews.  Deadly delicious and of course we had to buysome.  We got the wild hare to drive and went down Route 7.  We hiked Mt. Philo and when we reached the summit, it took our breaths away.  The Champlain River Valley-Words don't do it justice.
