Day 12  Shelburne Museum -- south of Burlington, VT

  The Shelburne Museum is acres and acres of period homes, and exhibits of American (Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth) and other artists (some Degas, and Monet paintings).  Plus quirky exhibits like this circus exhibit in a long narrow building and a side wheel steamboat, the Ticonderoga right up on the museum's grounds!                                                                 

The miniatures of circus life in Shelburne Museum.

School bus sleigh!  Malinda -- would you like to drive this?



And from our part of the country -- a Conestoga Wagon!




At "The Bluff" on Lake Champlain:  An incredible sight:  the moon rise!

                                                                                    
The full moon over Lake Champlain!!  What a great surprise -- we didn't anticipate being able to watch this when we walked to the Bluff at our campground after supper!

Tommorrow morning we'll go back there and watch the sunRISE!  And I'll post more pictures of our visit to the Shelburne Museum.  And Cousin Ellen and her family (who live in Burlington) will come for a visit tomorrow evening!
