Visiting Vermont???

[Boondox]

A while back there was talk of some members visiting my part of Vermont. I offered my grill and thought it was all set. But then senility set in and I forgot who was coming, when they were coming, where they were staying (Smugglers' Notch?) and all the other critical stuff. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

If you're coming my way -- and like dogs, cats, chickens and sheep -- please give me a heads up!

I had not planned on going out that way, but, if you want to send your retrievers out to Indiana for a visit, I am sure my two would be more than happy to visit!!

HEADS UP!! HEADS UP!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That was me, Pete. The wife and I are leaving on October 4th, and will be stomping around the Upstate New York/Vermont area beginning around the 8th or 9th. We'll be in Smuggler's Notch the entire week of October 11th through October 18th.

I was planning on "resurrecting" the other thread to see if those who had responded would still be interested in meeting someplace. Rancar was actually the one who got it all started with his thread about the Shelburne Museum.

I'll double check the dates on where we're staying. I know we're going to spend a couple days in the Lake St. George(?) area and a couple days in the Niagra Falls/Buffalo area. Other than that, the rest of the time will be in and around Smuggler's Notch/Burlington, etc.

Hey, thanks for thinking about it. It'd be great if a bunch of us could meet! I'm planning on bringing my TBN hat! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Let's hear from anyone else who might be able to participate!

Garry,
You will be driving right by my antique shop in Victor, NY if you are going down 90 to or from Buffalo to Lake George! I'm right between exits 44 and 45. (they are two close exits, only about 7 miles between them) If you are in the area stop by! If you go to my profile you can go to my web site and find how to get there. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Starting Columbus Day weekend, huh? Hope you have reservations already! Plan on making dinner reservations every night. And if you need to be someplace on time, leave early and drive cautiously. Folks are courteous on the road, just pretty well distracted by the scenery. Just go with the flow. Beer helps.

How about dinner here toward the middle of the week? Nothing fancy. Steak and grubby clothing. If you arrive during foliage it'll be a real treat. If you arrive after foliage take a walk thru the woods; it's like walking on gems with all the leaves underfoot!

You'll love it here!

Pete

Von,

Thanks! We'd love to. Visiting antiques shops is one of our favorite past times! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

We should be traveling through there on October 6th, as we have reservations in Lake George that evening. How long of a drive is it from Buffalo to your store?

I'll confirm the date and times as we get closer to our departure date.

Practice your smile - you're going to get your picture taken!! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Von - I printed out the information from your web site. Nice store!! Hope you have rooms to let. The wife's not going to want leave there!

You bet we do! We're locked in to Smuggler's Notch the entire week of the 11th - 18th. But the wife's been having going on line and getting all of these Expedia, Travleocity, Hotels.com, etc. battling each other to get us other reservations at good rates. The other night, she got us a $150.00 a night hotel for $73.00!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I think I'll keep her around for awhile! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

We do have some familiarity with the "Fall Foliage" crowds. We have the same problems in Door County on the penninsula.

Getting together one evening sounds great. But we don't want you going to any trouble for us. Why don't we just plan on meeting at one of your favorite eaterys? That way, if some others want to join in, like Rancar, JohnMiller III, or whoever, you won't get stuck with all of the work.

Lets's see how many other TBN'ers we can get involved in this little escapade and then work out the details before we leave. We don't have a laptop, so we'll have to finalize everything before we leave. If it turns out to be just us, then the others will have missed out on a lot of fun! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looking forward to it, regardless of how it all turns out.

Thanks for the invite! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
