I channeled my inner Clint Eastwood and, together with Brendan and the girls, we went searching for the famous covered bridges in neighbouring Vermont.
Now anybody, and I’ll bet it isn’t you, who is up on their US geography will realise that Madison County is in Iowa not Vermont. However, Meryl Streep has moved out of Iowa and there are only six original bridges left there, so we reasoned that Vermont was a much better bet if we wanted to see the real thing as they have over 100.
Unfortunately, what we didn’t expect was to wake up to snow. It’s mid April for pete’s sake. Nevertheless we decided to brave it even if we couldn’t do any of the walks we had planned. Lunch in Walpole, Vermont at the Moon Dog Cafe, then a drive past or through six of the covered bridges before we exhausted the kids patience and good humour.
Found our Airbnb back in Walpole, and had a rest time for kids and adults alike.
Tea at The Hungry Diner.
