Going to Vermont

So, I just did it, I booked my tickets to go to the only states in the country I’ve never visited and check out dairy farms and cheese makers. Does it snow in Vermont and Maine in April? I don’t want to die!

I’ve got a lot of things planned already, but it there anything, especially in Vermont, that I need to see or check out? Unfortunately, I had to shorten this vacation because of some construction/production issues at work, but Vermont appears to be like the size of my high school parking lot so I can probably fit some other things in if you, Dear Readers, have suggestions.

If you can schlep over to Burlington, it's pretty cool. Just avoid the smelly patchouli smelling hippies in the center of town (unless you're looking for some ganja, but something tells me that maybe cheese and weed don't mix. Stick to wine.) And you can't turn around in Vermont without tripping over a dairy or two.

Speaking of wine, Boyden Valley Winery is nice to do a wine and cheese tasting:

Not up Vermont way. If you don't mind a sidetrip to Boston, I could gladly show you a few local craft brewers.
