Ice Cream, Cheese, and Snow

Two weekends ago, we took a family road trip to Stowe, Vermont. It was Isaac, Isabella, and my first time to Vermont. I've been in New England for over 11 years and thought it was high time to check out Vermont. We stayed at a great New England inn called the Green Mountain Inn. It was just perfect and the room even had a gas fireplace. We are able to tour the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream factory. It was interesting and we got a sample of Mint Chocolate Chip that would've been perfect for Uncle Boyd. We also took a tour of Cabot Creamery Cooperative where they were making some cheese. It was really interesting and we got lots of samples of abouty 20 different cheeses. It is all-owned by local farmers and it was good to see a company that is true to it's original mission- making the best cheese around.
Rick and Isaac were able to swim in a heated outdoor pool, which was Isaac's favorite part of the trip. I even got a massage. It was gently snowing almost the entire time. It was like a movie. We went right before the Stowe Mountain ski area opened so it wasn't crowded at all. We did some shopping and ate lunch at the Trapp Famlily Lodge (of the Von Trapp, Sound of Music fame).
We had a terrific time and plan to return next year.
