Brattleboro, VT

Last week, Grace and I decided to take a drive through the country and we ended up in Brattleboro, Vermont, a small town on the border of VT and New Hampshire. Described by some as a college town without a college, Brattleboro features an art museum, several neat book shops, some theater companies, and a local coffee roaster. I forgot to bring my camera to take a photo of the downtown, so here's one I pulled off a Google Images search of Brattleboro:


While we were walking around, Grace bought a hot dog from a street vendor and I purchased the best vanilla gelato I have ever had. We also visited Turn It Up! Records, a great music shop with a few locations scattered across western New England. Later, we stopped by the art museum, where a nice old lady let us in for free because we didn't have any cash. The museum contained a terrific collection of modern and contemporary art, most of it on loan from various New York galleries. It also had an interactive room where Grace and I made designs with colored pencils.

Brattleboro was all in all a delightful little town. According to Wikipedia, it hosts a handful of book, film, and arts festivals throughout the year, so I imagine I'll be back sometime in the upcoming months.

Next stop: New York City.
