Burlington, VT … downtown waterfront

All settled in, we decided to head to the waterfront in downtown Burlington, VT, to explore and grab some dinner. We stumbled upon this gem of a Cuban place called Santiago’s Cuban Cuisine, and wow, the food was incredible! We feasted on Lechon Amado (roast pork) and Ensalada de Aguacate (avocado salad). Beth discovered yet another coconut margarita. It was pretty good, but she’s still raving about the one she had in Kentucky! We highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area.

Feeling pleasantly stuffed, we decided a post-dinner stroll was in order. As we wandered down to the waterfront, we passed ECHO, the kid-focused science and nature museum, and noticed a sign informing us of the number of cows in Vermont. (Because, you know, cow trivia is a must when visiting Vermont!) The night was beautiful, and we couldn’t resist snapping a few pictures of the Burlington Breakwater North Lighthouse, the bay, and the train station. A perfect ending to a delightful evening!Read more
