We got to Shelburne Museum by 11:00. The ticket was good for two days
because it would take that long to see everything. This Horsehoe Barn was a held carriages, coaches, and sleighs....
They even had the restored steamboat, Ticonderoga, on the premises....
This Round Barn housed special exhibits....
We only had a few hours to visit because we wanted to get to Milton, NY before dark so we could see the Hudson River which that evening’s B&B overlooked. The main thing I was interested in at the museum was the Tasha Tudor exhibit. That is where I spent most of my time. I saw some unpublished work and enjoyed seeing her original artwork. Ken and I split up so we could each see the things we really wanted to see most. It was terribly cold and windy that day. I was glad to be back in the car. We ate our packed lunch in the car and were on our way by 2:30.
We crossed over into New York about 30 miles south of Burlington catching glimpses of Lake Champlain as we followed a scenic route...
Soon we reached the New York Thruway which we took because of the lateness of the hour.
We got to the River Hill B&B just before 6:00....
The view from our corner room, Eastlake, which I'll show you tomorrow, was everything promised.

We spent some time in the parlor looking through restaurant
menus....
....then decided since it was Saturday night we’d just go a mile down the road to a pizza shop. When we returned we spent some time reading in the parlor, then headed up the stairs to our room....
The freight trains that traveled along the river’s edge lulled us to sleep. Tomorrow we would tour Franklin Roosevelt's Home and Presidential Library in Hyde Park.
