Friday, last chance to make a trip, and after another beautiful breakfast, we drive in the direction of Shelburne Falls in the Mohawk Trail Region. A cute little village, famous for “The Bridge of Flowers”, which is unique in the world. In 1929, the original trolley bridge across the Deerfield River, was transformed into a …
Another good-bye after shared breakfast in the Hill Top, time to proceed east. We are heading for Chesterfield, MA, in de heart of New England, where we are staying in de Seven Hearths B&B.

We decided to be ready for breakfast around 8:30, and noticed some other guests walking across the street and to the left, to the bowling centre, which apparently also had a restaurant where breakfast was served. So we followed them, and had some great food, together with lots of local, and funny jokes from an …
Last breakfast together, and final packing… And then we had to say goodbye, but not without a promise to plan a next get-together. The S. clan were heading South back to Pittsburgh, while we got on our way to our next stop, up to the I-90, and then in Eastern direction. Ons laatste gezamenlijke ontbijt …
Last day in Mayville! We had a late but lovely breakfast, and decided to go to the Chautauqua Institution. Interesting place, where artists, authors, philosophers, and scientists started a community, to inspire eachother and provide courses during summer. Lovely houses, the Miller Bell Tower, and a small child-friendly beach, where T., D., and G. build …

Thursday morning, early to rise, and getting ready for our trip to the lake. Packing, cleaning, last errands….and then we are on our way! No major traffic issues, and again beautiful weather, blue skies and impressive high clouds. Just after noon, we arrive in Mayville and head to the real estate company to collect the …
Vacation can be so relaxing… sitting on the deck, watching the dogs, reworking the garden, because Finn pushed over the fence and pulled out the grasses (again!)… Doing some reading and quilting – the weather is warm, and a bit humid, but still great. We have planned to go on a Ducky Tour in the afternoon, to …
Monday, and the first schoolday of the year for T. (pre-K) and S. (high school, The Barack Obama Academy for International Studies). We had an early breakfast and brought T. to her new class, and after that drove D. to her work. We are going to explore Butler Street in Lawrenceville, an upcoming neighbourhood with …
After a short night, the music and chatter downstairs in the bar went on beyond 1:30 in the morning, we woke up at 7:00, for an early start. We wanted to get on the road early, so it would still be cooler to drive, and second because we did not want to arrive too late in …
