One day Melora and I had lunch at an old library turned resturaunt in Portsmouth, New Hamspshire.
 When we were finished with lunch the waitress brought our check tucked inside a book -- for some reason, we thought that was pretty cool!
 Another fun place that has turned into a tradition for us when I visit New Hampshire is lunch at Pickety Place.
 If you find yourself in Vermont, take a day and visit the Shelburne Museum. Located in Vermont's scenic Lake Champlain valley, Shelburne Museum is one of the nation's finest, most diverse, and unconventional museums of art and Americana. Over 150,000 works are exhibited in a remarkable setting of 39 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the Museum grounds.
Obviously seeing the museum in the fall also has the added benefit of gorgeous fall foliage. These cute girls are my friend Melora's daughters, Miranda and Jennica. We spent a fun day with them.
 This restored 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga is a National Historic Landmark and the last walking beam side-wheel passenger steamer in existence. Built in Shelburne in 1906, it operated as a day boat on Lake Champlain serving ports along the New York and Vermont shores until 1953. In 1955, the Ticonderoga was moved two miles overland from the lake to Shelburne Museum in a remarkable engineering effort that stands as one of the great feats of maritime preservation.
 Remind you a bit of the Titanic?
 Touring the boat made me want to go back in time, eat in this fun dining room...
...and sleep in this cute little room!
 Up on deck you could just imagine yourself in the water.
 Who are those ladies blocking a great picture of Vermont in the fall?
 This lighthouse, from Colchester Reef on nearby Lake Champlain, served as home and workplace for 11 successive lighthouse keepers and their families. It was built in 1871. In 1952, the abandoned Lighthouse was dismantled from its site on the lake and re-constructed at the Museum, where it sits near the 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga, and is now housing a collection of original art by Warren Kimball.
