Vermont

We took a weekend trip to Vermont this past February. We had never been before and it turned out to be really great. We visited the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory (a big hit), enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, looked for Champ in lake Champlain, and visited the Joseph Smith birthplace memorial in Sharon, VT on the way home.

We went to a cider mill to get some cider donuts and fresh maple syrup.

 



Cute towns

 



I had to go see the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe...as in the real Von Trapps. We didn't stay there but I saw it in a magazine and it looked so cute that I wanted to see it in person. Definitely looks great.

 Watched some glass blowing.

 

Looked for "Champ" in lake Champlain. No champ. Pretty lake.

 Sharon, VT at the Joseph Smith birthplace memorial.

 The story about how they got the monument up there so long ago is pretty amazing.
