We enjoyed our coffee and then hit the road. After all, we have a 2 hour drive.
It was a pretty drive even though it was raining for a good part of it. Really it was just misty. We were listening to a book called Identicals. Its about two girls who were identical twins and best of friends until their parents decided to get divorced their senior year. Their parents could only afford one each, so the girls did rock-scissor-paper to decide which would go off to live with their father and which would stay with their mother. So one grew up on Nantucket Island with their Mom and the other on Martha's Vineyard with their Father. It is an interesting book.
We arrived at our destination and I was thrilled. I was afraid the drive was going to be for nothing. But, the place was cute and it was packed.
I didn't take any pictures inside unfortunately, but it was really fun. They say it is the same size as the one in Weston, which is the original store.
This one has a lot of sections. The kitchen section, the kids section, the sleep ware, men's ware, women's ware; make up, bath, dips, cookies, candies, soups, it was so fun. Old time stuff in every section. You got to taste and sample everything.
Rob and I split up but came back together on occasion and swapped holding Bella. To many people for the poor pup. We were there probably a good hour and a half. I thought Rob and Boo were outside, so after I made my purchases I went out but didn't find them. Then Rob texted me and he was still inside. I told him I was done and outside.
We were hungry and decided it would be easier to get something here rather than somewhere else so we each ordered a sandwich and we split a soup to go. We figured as long as we were down here we might as well go through some more awesome Vermont towns.
Grafton was really pretty. It is just an old community where the people have restored their home to how they originally looked because they love the look and the small town community. It is very cool and their was a wedding going on in a meadow.

We went through a couple other cute towns and then went on home.
We stopped in at Walmart on the way home and got some groceries. Walmart was the place of choice because we were out of doggie treats and Bella was not very happy.
We got home around 7:30. We watched a movie and ate left overs and went to bed.
We are moving on to Maine tomorrow and it is going to be a long driving day.
