Accidentally Drove to the Thousand Islands… 🌊

Accidentally Drove to the Thousand Islands… 🌊 Who would’ve thought! On the way from New York to Stowe, we somehow stumbled into the scenery of North America’s Thousand Islands～ 😆 📍The original plan was: after exploring Stowe, head to Burlington to see a waterfall! ChatGPT raved about it, and Google Maps had stunning photos of the waterfall. I was ing “water cascading down” the whole time, but following the navigation… we ended up at someone’s house! 🤣 So awkward, but hey, we got to enjoy unexpected country road views～ 🍂While searching for the waterfall, we stumbled upon the University of Vermont! Sunlight spilled like gold over the campus’s red brick walls and fallen leaves, autumn vibes so thick you could touch them🍁—every photo looks like a movie scene～ No waterfall, but there’s a Waterfront Park nearby! Sitting on the park swing, watching the sunset turn the lake orange, with the wind rustling leaves, I suddenly understood “peaceful days”～ All little regrets melted away in this moment✨ 💛 Must-try restaurants near the park: 🥩 Old-school farm-to-table steakhouse👉Hen of the Wood - Burlington Highly recommend mushroom toast + steak! The toast soaks up mushroom umami, and the steak is tender with juices—pure happiness in a bite～ 🍄 🥞 Skinny Pancake A must at Stowe! Found a branch near the park～ No bad choices here: sweet ones with fruit jam, savory ones with ham and cheese—so good you’ll lick the plate! Can’t find a substitute in NYC, sad～ 😭 #Park20MinuteEffectIsReal#NewYork#AutumnTravel#FallMapleViewing#PickingUpAutumn#Burlington#AutumnTravel#stowe#Vermont#AutumnInSmallTowns
