Montpelier, VT

Today Jen, the kids, and I went on a random leaf peeping journey. Instead of our usual route through the White Mountains of New Hampshire we headed for a new destination in central Vermont.

The colors were great, but there weren't any places to safely pull over to take pictures, so the peeping was strictly of the in-a-moving-car variety.

We had pointed ourselves in the direction of Barre, VT, but decided to go past it and visit Montpelier.

We started trying to make a list of the state capitals we had visited. Boston, Concord, NH, Providence, RI, Hartford, CT. Neither of us had been to Augusta, ME. Jen had been through Albany, and I think I had too, but wasn't sure. I'd been to St. Paul, MN. Some mental stressing reminded us that we'd all been through Harrisburg, PA, and Jen and I had not only visited but loved Annapolis, MD. We couldn't say for sure about any others, which is a tad pathetic.

So we all added Montpelier, VT to our list of state capitals visited. I took a couple of pictures on Main Street. At least I think we passed a Main Street sign on this road.

Is this the state capital building?

This is pretty much the coolest bookstore in the universe.

One side of the street. We were walking to the Main Street Grill & Bar.
