10\/17 Saturday:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is the start of our road trip in our new TESLA Model Y for the first time. Woke up at 5:15AM. Took off at around 6:45AM, in the twilight before daybreak. Car was charged to 100% the night before, instead of our daily 80% top off for battery care. Willy had seen and learned of our new car for the first time the night before (when he came on Friday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps it was the rush before daybreak, I forgot to bring TESLA Mobile charger (minor because TESLA Supercharging stations can plug directly into the car to charge), bring my swimming gears (Nadia brought my trunk for me, but I don't have my goggles), throw out the garbage. I should have a habit of setting reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The further we drove was Warren Falls (no signals around this area) on VT-100, the famous Fall Foliage of Route 100 in Vermont. We charged at two stops before that, first time using the superchargers. Certainly fast, from 30% to 80% under 30 minutes (comparing to 2% per hour charging at home). In between the charging stations (Glenmont & Rutland), we lunched at the Sandwich Shoppe, in Rutland. Willy had meatballs sandwich, Nadia shared chicken wrap with me. I found this place using https:\/\/www.top-rated.online\/<\/a> sorting by highest rating. Nadia wasn't impressed. She thinks everything in Vermont is too pricy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we returned the same route down to Moss Glen Falls. Both falls have very short hike trails (less than 10 minutes to 1 minute, respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rt-100 was indeed the scenic route. It seemed that the timing Nadia picked was not bad, slightly post-peak time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After checking into Fireside Inn & Suites, West Lebanon, NH, at around 4:07pm, we went out to dine at Weathervane Seafood Restaurant. Again, found this via https:\/\/www.top-rated.online\/<\/a>, but using most reviews sorting. Rating was only 4.1\/5. I would give it 5\/10 after tasting the fried seafood combo, fried calamari, fried mushrooms, not must into taste and spices, these Americans, just know how to fry stuff. The soups were fine (fish chowder & clam chowd0er cups).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hotel is one of the most expensive ones we've booked thus far ($300+\/night). Saturday in this season was a hard find around Lake George, according to Nadia. The other two hotels we will be staying next by Lake George are around $133+ each per night. Nadia booked these two latter ones due to pricing differences on different days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At night, Willy and I took the car to get charged to 95% (from 55%) at West Lebanon Supercharging station (behind Walmart).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow, after hotel's included breakfast, I don't think there's much else to see around here, so I plan to take us to Simon Pearce in Quechee for glass blowing demonstration, signed up for their email list I think and I got $20 coupon, while on our way to Lake George.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
