South Hero, VT – Oct. 2, 2025

Stop #10 – Lake Champlain

This stop was so amazing. Vermont apparently hasn’t had much rain, but it is still so green and lush. So many different fruit trees and flowers we just don’t see in Texas. I finally got the weather I was chasing too. So we definitely had a fire outside and even grilled some steaks! Real food! This is a first for me on this trip. I don’t know why, but I have wanted to see if I could cook everything in an air fryer. It is like I decided on the most idiotic challenge for myself, accepted the challenge, and then made everything under the sun in it. We have cookies, biscuits, pork steak, twice-baked potatoes, pizza rolls, and fries to name a few.

The views here were stunning, and we were parked one row behind the big mama Jamba RVs. I am not too, but they take up the first row with about six of them. I can only assume they must be more long-term? Anyway, we didn’t have anyone next to us. We went to the pool, which was heated, but my husband decided it was too cold for him. I did remind him I had been swimming in much cooler pools on this trip and tried to convince him to jump in, but I was denied. We did hit the hot tub, which was pretty great and my first on this trip.

Later on, we did some hiking with Mooshu and Lanna. I mean, for 16 years old, I have to say, Lanna kept up the pace. I tried to be helpful and carry her, but she fought me. I always just let her take her time because she is my life. I love watching her poke around and then run up to me like she almost lost me. I never leave her too far behind, and I always let her wander. I am enjoying my years with her and, like all of you, love her more than my husband. Well… I will let you decide if that is true… Hint, it is 🙂

We do need to make a side stop on our trip to our new location. We have been having some tire issues with one of the back tires. I have been told maybe it is a slow leak? So we have to find a place that can fill it… again. This has already happened one time. It is the interior tire on the back. The back tires have two tires side by side. This is probably called something, but I have no idea what it is. Next, we need to take this kitten to a vet to get her checked out. I just want to make sure she is all clear and healthy before I get her home to my other kittens.

I got a lot of good pics on this leg. Oh and I almost forgot, my movie on this leg was… What Lies Beneath… it was filmed in Vermont. Harrison Ford, such a doucher in that movie.

Next stop… MAINE!!
