So we are visiting relatives in Stowe, Vermont this weekend 10/21 to 10/22.
Ideas for things to see and do? I believe we are past "peak" leaf peeping season.
Stores, craft shows, standard touristy things.
Out relatives probably already have plans for us, but it would be nice to show up with a couple ideas.
Thanks in advance!

I'm more of a "go with the flow" kind of visitor. If my hosts want to just sit and chat I'll sit and chat. If they have plans I go along with that. The hosts are the ones I want to visit first and foremost. If a guest shows up at my place with a list of things to do that tells me they're just using my hospitality for convenience instead of visiting me.

The above links may help. Yes, you are past foliage season but there still may be a tree or two of late changers. It's a beautiful area no matter what you do.

Not in my family. Having fun is part of the reason we visit each other. We don't have to sit staring each other in the face to have meaningful conversation. Our doors are always open to family and friends, even if it is just to borrow a bed for a night or two. It's called being a family.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be Douglas Adams
RV-less for now but our spirits are still on the open road.

Every family has its own culture, rules and sensibilities. We choose to sit and have real conversations without distractions.

Ours are just as real. They just come in pieces sometimes. But the gaps also give us time to think about what we say. Guess it's because most of us have lived at a faster pace than we probably should. As long as the right stuff gets said it doesn't matter how.
But I digress. I'm sure your family has their favorites, but if you decide to eat out we really liked The Bench.

We had a good time. Sat and visited with relatives, and went out and explored.
Turns out... unless you are skiing, hiking, drinking, or eating... there is not a whole lot to do in Stowe! lol, yea yea, I know... there are some things to do. The center of Stowe is pretty cool, with some shops that are worth visiting. Not big, but cool.
And also, remember that everything in Vermont is about 30 minutes away. Nice drives, but everything is spaced out.

Stowe also has a great bike path around the village.

Sounds like my kind of place. I'm glad you had a good time.
