To Vermont we go
February 7, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ -5 °C
We woke up to Eric Church’s ‘Some of It’ song, which is the alarm song on my phone, at 7.00am, so that we could get ready for our day exploring Vermont. We left home at about 8.30am driving north through some amazing countryside covered in beautiful white crisp snow into the state of Vermont to a little township called Weston.
We have been to Weston 3 times now and it never ceases to take my breath away with its beauty each and every time. Though the temperature was crisp at about -5 degrees, the sun was out and we couldn’t have picked a better day to explore this beautiful township.
We started by exploring the township of Weston, running through the gorgeous snow, having snow fights, staring in amazement at the frozen waterfalls and just taking in all the beauty of this town. Then it was time to explore the Vermont Country Store. This shop has everything you can imagine in it. Pre-covid the store often had many a sample of all its goods, from maple syrup (my favourite), to cheesecake dip, fudge, biscuits and cheese just to name a few. Unfortunately covid has brought an end to that.
From here we went another half hour north to a township of Rockingham where there is another Vermont Country Store. It was only today that I realised there were 2 stores and it was the first time Cathy had visited this store also. Along the way there were 2 covered bridges which we stopped to explore and photograph, such beautiful structures. Dave got to fly his drone for the first time in the states and is getting the hang of it all.
It was then time to explore The Vermont Country Store Kissing Bridge and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pose for a kissing photo. Onwards to look over the shop and get some takeaway lunch from Mildred’s Grill, which was delicious before getting in the car to make the trek home.
Absolutely amazing day topped off by amazing dinner of white chilli chicken cooked by Cathy.
Perfect perfect day!
