This was our beautiful view everyday while in North Hero Vermont.
Before we go any further I want you to comprehend exactly where I was. I really didn’t know much about Vermont - if you’re like me you think of beautiful fall leaves when you hear “Vermont”. While I still don’t know much, I do know that Burlington is the largest city there and it has a population of less than 40,000! Vermont is small! We could happily live in Burlington - beautiful! But back on track here.
North Hero is a small island in Lake Champlain. Lake Champlain is celebrating it’s 400th year this year and is supposedly the home to Champ - although we never saw him. The world slows down there. It was so peaceful and relaxing I could have stayed for ages.
We got to explore the islands a little while everyone was working. You see, Dennis’s folks are up helping with the North Hero House Inn, so they still had to work while we were there. And Dennis’s aunt works there too. His cousin and partner own and operate the Inn. Hmm, wonder if they need a permanent photographer or two. . .
So, we had some time during the days to wonder the islands and enjoy nature.
Can’t you just feel how slow life is there? If you want to revive I recommend spending some time at the Inn, but beware, the restaurant may add a few pounds to your waistline with their spectacular food!
What a gorgeous view Lisa - wonderful!!

lake champlain was our getaway when the kids were little. we loved it there.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...refreshingly slow and calm. That is how I like it! Hmmmm...have to keep the name of the Inn close...maybe next year's trip will be to Vermont!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your kind words on my blog. I really appreciate it. My father-in-law lives in Vermont, he's been trying to get us to visit. After seeing these photos, I think we need to plan a trip very soon!
ReplyDeleteThat is breathtaking! For a while I thought I wanted to move to a farm in Vermont. Hubby pulled up their winter weather forecasts and that ended my living in Vermont dream LOL Visiting would be great though!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures. Your view of North Hero Vermont was beautiful. It does look like a quiet place. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures...Vermont is an absolutely gorgeous state!
ReplyDeleteLisa, do you know the name of the plant in the second to last shot? It looks like Herb Robert.
ReplyDeleteThat lake picture is wonderful....looks so peaceful. Almost like a postcard.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I also think of Vermont as a lot of snow. Don't even know if that is true. Your photographs are so relaxing, can feel the peaceful time there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place! Would love to travel there some day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a beautiful place to relax and take in the views.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view! so serene and quiet. I don't mind have a break like that once in a while, but too long will surely bored me to death. I'm pretty much a city girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm putting this place on my list!!! I adore islands....pretty much ANY island!! There is just something about "island living"....I think there's a little bit of Jimmy Buffett in my somewhere!! Stunning pictures Lisa!!
ReplyDeletethe place looks so peaceful! a perfect backdrop for a nice laid back vacation... and who knows, maybe the inn needs photographers for the tourist or better yet, the tourist office there needs people to do fabulous photos for the toutism industry...
ReplyDeletein any case, enjoy your lovely holidays :)
Wow, how beatiful that place is. Flowers, water, everything!
ReplyDeleteVermont is heaven. I believe so many of the roads are terrible because the locals don't want the rest of us to know!
ReplyDeletegorgeous view in that first shot...breathtaking.
