New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip – Part II (Stowe, Vermont)

written by Lauren

The area of Stowe Vermont features mountains, beautiful sky and plenty of breathtaking farmland.

Earlier this week, I wrote about my family's first leg of our summer vacation from New Jersey to Vermont.

New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip – Part 1 (Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Burlington, Vt.)

written by Lauren

Colorful kayaks in Burlington, VT

Earlier this summer, my family and I took a beautiful road trip  from central New Jersey up to Vermont. We  saw so many pretty sights! We also brought our 18-month-old Shih Tzu puppy with us.  We had a great time! Today I'm sharing the first leg of our trip -- from New Jersey to Saratoga Springs, NY. Vermont is about 6 hours away from my family's home in Central New Jersey. I thought it'd be nice to split up the drive to and from Vermont. That way, we could visit some additional areas and spend fewer hours at a time in the car. After this trip, I wish we knew about the convenience of Continue reading...
