Vermont – Sunday

So, we made it up here.

Beautiful, sunny, snowy Vermont.  We are staying near Stowe, Vermont.  Tricia found a great room at the Trapp Family Lodge.  We got up here Saturday afternoon after flying into Burlington, Vermont and then driving 45 minutes to the lodge.  Before the trip, we discovered that just about EVERYTHING is 45 minutes away in Vermont.  I guess that’s just how it goes.

The Lodge is great.  Our room is very spacious.  We have a beautiful view of the trees and mountain just outside of our room.  Thankfully, there are curtains!!  Helps keep the light out in the morning.

We got settled Saturday and explored the town of Stowe for a bit.  Had dinner at the Cactus Cafe.  Definitely a New Englander’s idea of what Mexican food should be.  It was fun, though.

Sunday is when things really started.  We went to the Outdoor Center and rented some snowshoes and hiked it up to the top of the mountain.  Went from 1200 feet elevation to 2400 feet elevation.  It took us about 2 hours. The FitBit gave us credit for 150 floors and over 22,000 steps for the day. It was a personal best for BOTH Tricia and I.

We had a nice snack at the cabin at the top of the mountain and then began the trek back down.  Got cleaned up for dinner and then went to Plate for a very nice dinner.  Tricia had Hearts of Palm curry and I had the “Messy Burger” with pan fried potatoes.  Very nice.  Local beer for me and a local cider for Tricia.

This morning, we are looking at the snow falling outside the window.  We are about to hike down to the lodge bakery for some coffee.  Oh, and it’s 10:30am and we just got up!!  God bless Grandparents for babysitting!

Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Enjoy,

  1. Wonderful, beautiful pictures! The scenery looks breath taking. What a good job of showing all that beauty, including you and Tricia!

  2. What beautiful blue skies! Great commentary as well. Your stay at the Sound of Music family lodge must also be great fun! Thanks for the tour.

  3. Ug! The poor trees bleeding to death….a slow but noble death for pancake and waffle eaters everywhere.
