Vermont
So yeah, Vermont. Christmas and I drove up Friday night and spent two days in beautiful Vermont. Saturday we spent touring part of the Vermont Cheese Trail, going around to four different “cheeseries”, if you will. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get to see any cheese actually being made–apparently they usually don’t do it on weekends–but we got to see the animals the milk came from, in two cases (one goat farm and one cow farm), and drove through lots of beautiful places. We tasted a lot of very good cheese, too, and came back with some great ones, including some amazing 6-year-old cheddar. I also got a lot of good pictures.
We stayed in a little town, West Dover, at a B&B. That weekend, the town was holding their own version of “The Amazing Race”, where teams would go through various Detours and Roadblocks and so on as they raced all around the valley. The grand prize, no pun intended, was $1,000. I wish Christmas and I had known about this ahead of time, because I totally would have done it–it sounds like it was an absolute blast. Ah, next year; they’re planning to do it every Memorial Day Weekend.
