Today was our free day. We started our day with a yummy breakfast at the hotel. Then, we went to the Bennington Battle Monument. It is 306 feet tall and you can see 3 states from 206 feet. The Battle of Bennington was one of the Revolutionary War battles that took place in Vermont. The view from the top was beautiful!
As we were touring the Old First Church, the people in charge of the tour, found out that we were musicians, and asked us if we would play for them and the tourists. Of course, we said yes, and got our instruments! The sound was beautiful in that old church, and we were accompanied by the organist on the old pipe organ. What a wonderful surprise God gave us!
We spent the rest of the day hiking 2.3 miles, through the mountains, to the Lye Brook Waterfall. Once we got to the falls, we were amazed at God's creation, the beauty, and the height. The water was so powerful and loud that it was hard to talk to each other unless you were really close. Tomorrow, we will be heading to New Hampshire!
