New England Quilt Tour
Posted By drsao on October 10, 2009
If you ever get the chance to go on a Country Heritage Tour – you have my thumbs up on the New England Fall Foliage Tour! Imagine 54 quilters (or friends of quilters – or sisters of quilters) off for a week of adventure. We started in Boston and then made our way up through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. We had the BEST TOUR GUIDE imaginable – Vicky! Vicky was entertaining, funny, enthusiastic AND she was A1+ organized. Just for the record, she kept us organized too. Our driver, Rene, was also so kind and patient – I often thought of the Country Western song this week as I watched Rene day after day “WAITING ON A WOMAN” X 54. 🙂
Here is a sample of Day one in Boston. I love Boston – so much history – it is awe-inspiring. I love the architecture, the people (and their charming accents), the brick sidewalks and streets, the harbor, the statues, the weather vanes, golden domes, the restaurants and historic taverns, the fresh salt-inspired air – and the gentle and sometimes not-so-gentle rain that fell on the churches, cemeteries, street entertainers, and US!
AND YES – I ACTUALLY MADE IT WITH ONE CARRY ON BAG and another “day bag.” WHOOPEEE (if you could have seen me travel BEFORE this you would have been totally impressed! I can’t wait to tell my brother, Fred, who will be amazed and astounded to know that my traditional two travel bags – filled to the 50 lb limit that HE ALWAYS HAS TO LOAD INTO THE CAR when I travel to MO – was replaced by one 25 pound bag on this trip!!!!)
Are you home already? Can’t wait to see more!
