8/23/08 Gorgeous Green Mountains and Vermont Beauty

We’ve loved the charming beauty of Vermont. We drove through many quaint towns, pastoral farms, and lush green mountains (but, I thought they seemed more like big hills myself). We hit a couple historic sites – Calvin Coolage Presidential home (his birth and childhood home which was also his summer White House), and Bennington Battle Monument which is slightly taller than the Statue of Liberty and gave us beautiful vistas of Vermont, New York and Massachusetts. We stopped at a couple farms and sampled cheeses, and maple products. We saw lots of covered bridges, white steepled churches, and undeniably charming towns. Oh, and very likely the favorite of my kids, we had too much ice cream along the way.
