Go with the flow

November 8, 2023

It’s good to chill out on vacation and be flexible. The first full day of our Vermont vacation our plan was to hike at Jamaica State Park. We had a fabulous time there last year (see the Dumplings anyone? ) post. This sounded good except all of the park trails were closed due to mudslides […]

Deliverance

November 1, 2023

I view every day as an adventure and our drive up to Vermont was no exception. Mmm, normally, the ride is pretty straightforward; Route 128 to Route 2 to Route 91 and presto you are in Vermont. But no this time Google maps decided to make life interesting by taking us a VERY scenic route. […]

Merry, merry Christmas!

December 28, 2022

I love the Christmas season. The lights and decorations are so pretty. I especially love putting up our Christmas tree. All of our ornaments have a story behind them. The Ken and Nancy snowmen were bought in Weston, Vermont, during one of our many trips to Vermont. The Santa in a kayak,on the upper left, […]

Let’s talk about souvenirs

November 16, 2022

I love having momentos of our trips; they don’t have to be anything fancy. This time in Vermont I got some good ones. The beautiful wood bowl was handmade by a 95 year old man from New Hampshire. We picked up this gem at the Chester Fall Festival. The pretty tea ball with a dragon […]

Eating our way through Vermont

November 9, 2022

Sure, we had an active vacation here in Vermont, but we also enjoyed some yummy food. Um, we may have enjoyed a LOT of ice cream. It was made here in Vermont and just went down so easily. The first quart was our old favorite, salted caramel truffle. We then branched out to try, Wilson’s […]

Chester Vermont revisited

Comments Off on Chester Vermont revisited

We couldn’t come up to Vermont without a stop at the Chester Fall Festival on the Green. What better way to enjoy quintessential Vermont than by being at a Fall Festival? It was fun just to walk around and enjoy the day. The pace of life is slower in Vermont and it is nice. Except, […]

Till the cows come home

October 26, 2022

Nothing says “Vermont” like cows. I was very happy this time that we saw many cows in our travels. On the way to Grafton to get our cheese, we came across Mom and babies. I made Mr. Ken stop the car so we could capture the moment. Across the field the owner was sitting on […]

The view

October 19, 2022

We returned to Dorset, Vermont and did the Gettysburg Quarry hike again. It was so much easier this time since it was cooler. The view from the top is to die for. Aside from being out in nature, we met some interesting people on the trail. One woman, a Dorset native, told us about some […]

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

October 12, 2022

We took a hike around our favorite place in Vermont, Lowell Lake State Park. We can walk to this beautiful area from where we were staying. So we are out hiking and we come upon a paw print in the mud. Mr. Ken says he thinks it’s bear paw. Except we keep seeing these prints […]

All roads lead to cheese

October 5, 2022

We had a rainy day one day in Vermont so we decided to take a road trip to Grafton, the home of the famous Grafton Village Cheese Company. We had quite the adventure getting there! We took Route 121, which sounds like a major road. Well, it was a dirt road, albeit a beautiful one. […]
