Today we made our way over to Montpelier, the capitol of Vermont. It really is a small town for a state capitol, but it's a quaint OLD town. Saw some really pretty building and took some pictures, of course.
From there we made it to my favorite destination (for the day anyway)... Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory in Waterbury, Vermont. Whoot!
We got a factory tour, where we saw how they make all the yummy flavors, learned about the company and got a free sample of the Flavor of the Day, which today was Steven Colbert's Americone Dream. Tasty stuff! I got the special tour package that included a t-shirt and a pint to go (of course).
OK, it wasn't quite THAT big! I picked out Chubby Hubby and shared it with my Lovey Hubby on our way to Burlington, Vermont. From there, we got another treat. Our route to New York took us island hopping up Lake Champlain across little islands and bridges with the beautiful Vermont scenery to our right and New York to the left. Very cool way to do that!
Tonight we are staying in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and have a little sight seeing in the Empire State to do in the morning and day tomorrow before catching a ferry back across Lake Champlain to Vermont.
We talked to Carter a few times today and heard an enthusiastic report from homecoming. He said he danced so much his feet and legs hurt today. Now that's a surprise! He also had his share of slow dances and claims he's pretty good at that. But you did NOT hear that from me!! We were just glad he had a great time. Today he had a ton of homework so he was busy doing that. Almost felt guilty about all the fun we're having.
But not really. Would you?
