We will begin our trip in Vermont and make our way east, stopping to enjoy the scenery, the maple syrup, the mountains, the quaint villages, the water and the seafood. Plus, we’ll do a lot of leaf viewing as fall settles into the region. This tour is truly a sampling of the best of New England. Come join us as we see the sights!

A stop at a Maple Syrup Farm was a real education and lots of fun!
