Going to Vermont

[gordonzola]

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.

About 12 years ago, I enjoyed going to Skunk Hollow Tavern in Hartland (on the east side of the state, in the CT River Valley). Tiny little town, and I recall some interesting live music there and decent food. Nearby is Woodstock, major tourist town - the idyllic New England town of cinema lore. You can do a glassblowing tour at Simon Pearce (http://www.simonpearce.com/CSTM_GlassTour1.aspx) in Quechee or Windsor, also along the river valley.

There's always Stowe, in central VT. Cute town, home of the Trapp Family Lodge (http://www.trappfamily.com/index.php), the family of Sound of Music or whatever.

I also recommend doing something out on Lake Champlain, though I'm not exactly sure what's possible that time of year. Kayaking on the lake is fantastic though.

That place looks great but I may not make it only because there aren't cheesy. .
