We had a great trip to Vermont last weekend! None of had been there and it was beautiful. Our story begins with a very well behaved little traveler who carried her own rolling backback through the entire DC airport. It was so cute! I wish I'd had the video with me. Kate is so much better on the plane in her own seat. While I'm not looking forward to having to pay for her tickets, it will be nice to have a guaranteed seat for her. On the trip home, there were 4 people total on our flight. After flying into Burlington, VT, we drove to Northfield, where Norwich University is located. Loren teaches an online class for Norwich and this was their "residency week" where everyone comes to the campus. Seriously, are we there yet?
Look at that handsome driver!
We stayed at a bed and breakfast called the Northfield Inn which was really a treat! Aglaia, the innkeeper was so kind and Loren the smooth talker really got a great deal--a $179/night room for $63/night! Nice! However, her dog bit Kate on the face the first day. Luckily it barely broke the skin. Maybe it will help Kate to learn not to pull on animals!
They had a great swing on a big old tree where we spent a lot of our time!!
While Loren was attending to his duties, Kate and I toured the countryside of Vermont. We went to the Ben and Jerry's Factory, to the Cabot Creamery where they make cheese and to the Bragg Farm Maple Sugar House.
"Yummy, Mommy. I like it!"
Who can resist a puddle?
We had a bit of trouble getting back and ended up spending the night in NJ. However, we called Loren's cousins Brent and Sara and were able to go stay with them. They gutted an old home and did an amazing renovation. It was just beautiful. We'll have to go back and spend more time there. Overall, it was a great trip! Happy Birthday Loren!
