October 4, 2008: All 50 States!!

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

• Waking up in Quebec City and hitting the road early
• A brief stop at the Derby Line, Vermont visitor center and then heading to St. Johnsbury, Vermont
• Taking a tour (hair nets and all) of Maple Grove Farms and eating all of their samples (and we mean all!)
• Driving through Peacham and stopping at the country store
• Eating cheese at Cabot Creamery -we circled the sample table a few times
• Stopping at the A.M. Foster Bridge in Cabot, Vermont which was now in the middle of a field. It was the most beautiful place that I had ever seen with the fall leaves and White mountains in the background
• Entering New Hampshire-Our 50th State! (What an appropriate state motto: "Live Free or Die!") Reagans 27th, Andersons 20th and Grahams 5th state (click here for a list of how we got to 50 states)
• Walking around Main Street in Littleton, New Hampshire and crossing the Mill Street covered bridge
• A lady stopping us at supper, at the Littleton Diner, to tell us that our kids behavior was "refreshing"-they were very well behaved after spending the day in and out of the car without naps and a dinner that lasted over 1 1/2 hours.
• Donuts at Dunkin Donuts for Anderson, Mom and Dad after supper
• Climbing to our 4th floor room at the Thayers Inn in Littleton, New Hampshire-it is a hotel built in 1843 and we have a huge two room suite all to ourselves with a queen bed, full and twin size bed.
