New England Road Trip 2018 - Day 8 (10/6/2018) - Vermont Route 100

The Motel 6 didn't have breakfast, so after checking out we went across the street to the Athens Diner to get breakfast.  After eating we hit the road around 9:45am.  We took I-89 to VT-100, and then began the scenic journey south.  We were pleasantly surprised that the foliage was as colorful as it was, and the hilly terrain added to the scenery just like the day before.  But also like the day before, there wasn't much of a chance to capture it all in picture form.

We got off VT-100 at VT-9, heading west to I-91.  We took that south through Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT, ending up just south of Hartford in Cromwell.  We checked into the Red Lion Hotel there at 4:45pm.  After a little time in the room we went downstairs to get dinner at the on-site restaurant.  But when they informed us that they were out of black bean burgers, we headed out to a Chinese restaurant (Wang Chinese) a few minutes away.  After dinner it was back to the hotel for the remainder of the night.
