After not a great night's sleep at the airport Shilo Inn - I think we were too excited, worried we'd sleep in and miss our flight, and missing our beds (already) - we awoke in our hotel room, got ready, took our stuff downstairs to the shuttle, checked in at the airport and had a wonderful uneventful flight to Boston.
Boston traffic was an adventure. Stupid Boston traffic. We got lost, stuck in rush hour, someone's car broke down in our lane, the whole shmear, but we did get to see a little of Boston. It was exciting when it wasn't frustrating. Once we figured out how to get out of town, we headed northwest to Montpelier, Vermont.
We chose Montpelier as the first place to stay because the Vermont state archives are kept there at the capitol (actually, outside of town in a little office in Middlesex) and part of our reason for going was genealogy finding.
We stayed at The Inn at Montpelier in downtown Montpelier. It's a darling town and I wish we'd had more time to spend there. The Inn was lovely. The room was a bit small, but nice. I'd definitely stay there again.
