Highways and Byways with Jeff and Susan Jeff and Susan's 2009 11 Month Trip to New England

Montpelier, Vermont Oct 4, 2009

Today's bus tour was a real food one. First stop was at the Von Trapp Family Lodge for lunch, then to a cider mill, and then to the Ben and Jerry's factory. Weather started off raining and ended up pretty nice. The Von Trapp lodge was neat and the food was great. We visited their grave yard where all of them that were in the Sound of Music movie are buried. Then we went to a cider mill and since it is the season we got to watch them making it, and of course tasting. Naturally they had a huge store with all kinds of products, not just apple stuff. Then we went on down the road to Ben and Jerry's factory, took a tour, got some free ice cream, and then I bought a pint.
