I’ll be a dog if I come back again!

“Autumn leaves blaze like flames, one after another, and the red of maple trees is more intense than any color of summer—it is nature’s final carnival.” — Walden👀👀 🍁 Day 1 Travel from New York City to Albany, grab lunch, then head to Stowe. 💕 ✨✨The total drive takes 7 hours. We had dinner at Hen of the Wood in downtown Stowe (the portions here are way too small! The lasagna only had 6 pieces, and the swordfish was gone in one bite 🧐). 🍁 Day 2 - Gondola Skyride A cable car friendly to those afraid of heights! It stops operating at 4:30 PM, so remember to get in line early 👣 - Stowe Community Church 📷 There’s a parking lot right next to it—you can snap a few quick photos, then grab lunch in the town. - Ben & Jerry‘s Ice Cream It’s an ice cream factory 🏭! Personally, if you’re only coming for ice cream, it’s not necessary. The lines are long, and the taste is basically the same as the tubs you buy in supermarkets. But there’s a “cemetery” at the entrance—each tombstone has the birth and death years of ice cream flavors the company discontinued🍉🍉 The Turtle Soup flavor was “born in 2015 and died in 2015” — such an unlucky flavor!🌴🌴 - Cold Hollow Cider Farm You can sample apple cider here! They serve it straight from big metal barrels, and the free samples taste even better than the ones you buy. They feed the apple pulp (after juicing) to pigs 🐷, which makes their bacon have an apple flavor.🍐🎼 🍁 Day 3 - Moss Glen Falls My friend joked that the water flow was weaker than the flush of my toilet at home.🏠 - Nichols Ledge 📷 Download offline maps in advance! Download offline maps in advance! Download offline maps in advance! 🚗 My phone had no signal, and the navigation almost led me straight into the lake. Also! The view from the top requires a 30-minute hike up a trail with no safety barriers. If a buff-looking guy tells you “you’re almost there,” don’t believe him—it’ll just make you desperate.✨✨ - Woodstock Resort Inn 📷 Such a beautiful hotel! There are lots of “Shaun the Sheep” (sheep that look like the cartoon character).💕 - Tree House Brewing Company It’s known as the “top-ranked craft brewery.” A can costs hundreds of yuan in China, but here it’s only 5 USD. It smells amazing, but one sip made my head spin—I just can’t appreciate it at all.👣 🍁 Day 4 - Gillette Castle State Park 📷 You need to buy tickets in advance to enter the castle, but you can walk around the castle and take all the photos you want without a ticket.🎫 - Grace Farm It’s so cozy that I didn’t even feel like taking photos. The farm is non-profit—admission is free, but you need to book in advance. I played basketball 🏀 for a bit, read a book, and had a cup of coffee for just 2 dollars.💵 #Perth #PerthLife
