One of the things that we DEFINITELY wanted to do in Vermont was visit the Ben & Jerry’s factory! IMG_4675

Can you see us in this picture? I asked Irving which one was the girl supposed to stand in, and then he told me that we were supposed to be “Ben and Jerry”. hahaha oh well.

It was really a tour for kids, but it was fun.

As if that wasn’t enough icecream…. we decided to get some more at the scoop shop (when in Rome, right?)

I got three different flavors:

  1. Half Baked (Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Creams with Fudge Brownies & Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough)
  2. Triple Caramel Chunk (Caramel Ice Cream with a Swirl of Caramel & Fudge Covered Caramel Chunks)
  3. Coconut 7 Layer Bar (Coconut Ice Cream with Coconut & Fudge Flakes, Walnuts and Swirls of Graham Cracker & Butterscotch)

This is where they steal all their ingredients!

That’s a lot of sugar!

Then we went to see the “Flavor Graveyard” where some of the dead flavors go when they are discontinued.

They all had cute little sayings on them.

With bellies full of ice cream glory, we arrived at our hotel in Stowe. We stayed at the Green Mountain Inn. It was a perfect location, right in downtown Stowe.

It was a quaint little room.

With a walk-in closet!

We headed to the bar and got some beers

And played a few rounds of Trivial Pursuit

Then we ventured out to find some dinner. The town is really walker friendly.

We ate dinner at Pie in the Sky.

I got an amazing eggplant pasta dish.

Delish!

Look at that cheese!

We loved the walking trails all around

I wish we had this in Los Angeles!

It was really hot though. We were a sticky mess!

IMG_4734

It was so cute there!
IMG_4735

I forced Irving to take this picture. Bahaha!

The next morning, we headed to the “Green Mountain Coffee Cafe”.

IMG_4740

It was in an old train depot.
IMG_4739

Mmm Coffee!
IMG_4742

We got some coffee, straight from the source.
