Days 1 & 2


We had a fair amount of chaos getting to Boston (thanks American Airlines flight delays), but eventually made it after a layover in Chicago! We spent the whole of the next day exploring Boston then drove out to Bridgewater Corners, VT. We went to the best little brewery by the river for dinner (that was a whole 1/2 mile from our Airbnb), then finally settled in to rest up for the next day's adventures!
