Vermont – Thursday

It’s our last day here.

I guess, technically, tomorrow is our last day here but it’ll be a travel day so there’s that.

We set the alarm for 0800 this morning so we could go enjoy breakfast in the Lodge Dining Room.  What a treat.  I had oatmeal pancakes with Trapp Lodge Maple Syrup, Trapp Lodge eggs, and sausage.  Tricia had Bananas Foster French Toast with Trapp Lodge Maple Syrup.  So good.

We went snowshoeing after breakfast and saw the Chapel.  It was a nice morning hike.

After that, we went back to the Cold Hollow Cider Mill to see them press apples.  We got there just in time.  Saw the last batch for the day.  It was pretty awesome (photos are below).

After that, we went back to the Bragg Farm and saw Doug making Maple Syrup.  That was pretty cool as well.

We found a covered bridge late in the afternoon.  Apparently, this is something that you are supposed to do in Vermont.  I was underwhelmed and Tricia was, probably, at best, whelmed.

Dinner was after that and we ate at the Bistro at Ten Acres.  Dinner was delicious.  Tricia had a tofu curry with basmati rice and vegetable medley and I had chicken with ham and cheddar cheese covered with gravy…of course!  The Truffle French Fries were OUTSTANDING.  Neither of us had room for dessert so we came back to the room for a nice relaxing evening.

We’ve got a late checkout tomorrow so we’re going to sleep in and then pack before heading out to Burlington for our flight home.

What a great week this has been.  We have to give a big THANK YOU to the grandparents Wessler and Sumpter for watching the girls for us.  We can’t wait to get back home and see you all.

Enjoy,
