Road trip planning is in full swing!
It’s all working out in a non-structured let’s just drive and see the world kind of way. There is one thing plaguing us though. One state, that when faced with making decisions about roadside attractions I realize, I’ve got nothing!
Besides snow, skiing and cheddar, I know jack squat about Vermont!
But a little research educates the brain.
Like that it’s the 2nd least populous state, Wyoming being #1 (shocker).
Or that Vermont is the only New England state with no coastline along the Atlantic.
And how about this, Vermont was originally claimed by France but they lost it to Britain in the almost never remembered French and Indian War.
Then Vermont was like, no, I don’t think so my British Buds. And thanks to the Green Mountain Boys Militia they became the Independent Vermont Republic.
After 14 years of independence they willingly joined the United States.
This state has guts and glory!
And I’m going to see it.
There are quite a few attractions, events or just plain oddities to be found in Vermont, specifically Northern Vermont where we will be traveling through.
1. THE WORLD’S LARGEST MAPLE SYRUP JUG
*Dakin Farm in Ferrisburg, Vermont (www.dakinfarm.com)
2. SEE WHALE TAILS beside I-89 (between exit 12 and 13)
3. BEST CHEDDAR IN THE WORLD
*Cabot, Vermont 800-748-2372
4. HAUNTED FOREST
*Willston
5. SPOT “CHAMP” IN LAKE CHAMPLAIN
6. LUNCH AT BEANSIE’S BUS (not even sure what this is but OKAY!)
7. LAKE CHAMPLAIN MARITIME MUSEUM
*Vergennes, Vermont (www.lcmm.org)
-A full-sized revolutionary war GUNBOAT! (that is right, a boat with guns!)
8. LAKE CHAMPLAIN CHOCOLATE FACTORY
*Burlington, Vermont (www.lakechamplainchocolate.com)
These are just a few of the possibilities that the great state of Vermont has to offer.
In fact, someone’s suggestion was to eat AL’S FRIES. I don’t even know where AL is, but I’m going to find him! And those fries better be good or at least decent enough to choke down with lots of ketchup!
What if AL'S is just someone's kitchen? That would be awesome!
