Vermont

Sooo I took a little Vacation to Vermont last week with my Husband. It was wonderful break and even if it required us wandering around and eating really well ( tons of local farm foods) and root beer on tap or fresh milk from a farm that made me a happy woman. We ended up in Burlington, Woodstock and Quechee, Vermont. Burlingtion was a lovely college town and had amazing food and old diners. We bought chocolate, went record shopping and walked in the snow.

Quechee had wonderful nature and a famous gorge in which we stopped and tried to hike down into, that was soon halted as the path was covered by ice. ( we were literally sliding down the path) One of my favorite stops was VINS – Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences. I love learning about nature, we literally spent 2 hours here learning about different types of birds, raptors and owls. There was a really awesome trail and a huge part of land just dedicated to hiking. I loved seeing a bald eagle within 3 feet in front of me! We had lunch at the famous Simon Pearce restaurant and got to watch glass blowers in the basement. ( you can see the pic I took of the glass molds below)

We visited many local farms and bought tons of extra sharp aged cheddar, cider and even more root beer. We found a cool little road at the bottom of the gorge in Quechee near some fishing holes to take photos…. 4 days of fun ! Check out my Instagram feed to see more pics, honestly I did take a lot of photos on my phone.
