Here's my final salute to Vermont from my recent trip there.
Sigh.
Of course we had to stop at Ben & Jerry's!
And when in Waterbury, you have to check out Prohibition Pig. Look at this mac and cheese!
On our last day there earlier in May, they finally opened the road over Smugglers' Notch. It is closed from autumn to spring, because they can't plow at the top where the very narrow one-lane road snakes among the huge boulders. So we were excited to hit the road and cross that mountain.
On the mountain road... Don't be fooled; the water is crystal clear.
So happy the road reopened...
And then on to Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville...
Last day in Stowe...
Such a great time, but vacations are always too short! Maybe I'll be lucky enough to visit again.
Yes, I admit it, I love going to Vermont. I know it's never going to be my permanent residence -- unless I win the lottery -- so visiting will have to suffice.
Here are some more shots from our recent visit...
In the Smugglers' Notch area, before the notch road opened on our last day there... Those photos come later.
Fantastic area!!
When in Burlington, you must visit Magic Hat!
And don't miss this place...
The Dog Chapel, near St. Johnsbury. Such a wonderful spot. Please visit sometime if you can.
The walls are covered in tributes to pets that have crossed the Rainbow Bridge...
If you get to St. Jay, don't miss the athenaeum!
Outside the planetarium...
Kingdom Taproom -- awesome!
Montpelier, above, and on the way to St. Johnsbury...
Hope you enjoy. I'll post some more photos soon...
