Why not tour Vermont?

Start with Fort Ticonderoga. Sis wanted to see it and I almost didn't go. We
had biked there and I was tired. It was great, the view is spectacular, the museum is
terrific, it's a 'must see'. The family restaurants at the other end of town are good or were a few years ago).

Burlington is worth a visit, have lunch on a street with no traffic, no cars allowed at all...

The Stowe area is just flat out cool. Ben and Jerrys! Hiking, biking, you can take the ski thing to the top and enjoy the view,
and more. Make sure you have pancakes there!!! Pancakes are practically a religion. Good place to chill for a couple days.

And the islands sound cool, haven't been there yet.
