Day 21: A taste of Vermont

We ate ourselves through Vermont today. First we started at Ben & Jerry's. We took the tour and then got a scoop of ice cream, well I got two.
Then on to the Cold Hollow Cider mill where we sampled their cider and had a cider donut.
After that we stopped at Lake Champlain Chocolates to sample their wares. Then the Cabot creamery where they make the best cheese ever.
The highlight of the day was the Brag Family sugar house. We learned all about how maple syrup is made and then tasted the four different grades. You wouldn’t think that there was a difference, but there is. I think I would like a maple tree in our backyard. Now you all didn’t think that all we did was eat all day did you? There was a lot of Geocaching (15) in there as well. In fact because of caching we went to two different covered bridges that we wouldn't have ever known about. Any one interested yet?
At the capital in Montpelier we came across this delightful yarn shop. I purchased some beautiful plum variegated yarn to make the scarf pattern that I bought in Amish country.
I just had to include this picture today: "You know your getting old when", You have to wear reading glasses over your sunglasses.
