Beautiful Vermont

After we left New York, we spent two days in Vermont. State legislation forbids the placement of billboards on the side of freeways and the landscape looks absolutely gorgeous without them!


We first toured the Ben & Jerry's factory in Waterbury. Our tour guide was awesome and it was neat to see how their ice cream is made and packaged. We even got to sample some after the tour was over!


Here's my siblings and I with the Ben & Jerry's bus! :)


The factory even has a Flavor Graveyard for some of their "deceased" flavors, like Sweet Potato Pie and Peanut Butter and Jelly. (Yuck!) I can totally see why some of these flavors got the boot!

The next day, we visited Sugarbrush Farm, which produces cheese and maple syrup. We got to sample some of their products and they were delicious! It was interesting to finally taste real maple syrup!

Afterwards, we headed down into Massachusetts to visit a few more sites. My next post will cover our final days on the East Coast before our flight home!
