Virtual Postcards from Vermont -- Part I

Today I took my sweet ol' time driving up to Burlington, Vermont for the Stonyfield Blogger Barnstorming Tour! A big thank you to Stonyfield and everyone who voted for me... I still cannot believe I'm really here!!

I stopped several times along the way to admire the views and take lots of photos. It is beautiful here!


I even got to take a ferry across Lake Champlain -- The first time our car has been on a ferry!

I met up with the other bloggers -- Tina, Anne, and Kristina, along with Nancy and Amy from Stonyfield at American Flatbread in downtown Burlington. We were treated to a great dinner! American Flatbread includes lots of local and organic ingredients in the food, and this Evolution salad was so tasty!
We ordered several different kinds of pizzas, but the New Vermont Sausage was the winner hands-down.


And now we're settling down at an Inn (which is amazingly beautiful -- more pics of that tomorrow). What a super-fun day... I'm still pinching myself! I cannot wait to go on the farm tours starting early tomorrow morning and share what I learn about organics with you! Mooooooooooo!!!

I love Vermont!

My kids want to know if you caught a glimpse of "Champ" - the Lake Champlain monster. There are three things they remember from our Vermont studies - maple syrup, Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and Champ!

This is so much fun. I feel like I'm on the trip with you... but then there's that nagging jealous feeling that reminds me I'm not. LOL Love the photos, so glad you're having a good time and I can't wait to hear more.

@Mark: LOL! Good job.

Christy Killoran said...

@ Nicole Spring -- It was soooo yummy! I wish I could send you a slice of flatbread in the mail. :-)

@ Mark -- Did you remember to give them water too? ;-)

Valerie @ Inner Child Fun said...

@ Christy -- Mark asked me about Champy too, but sadly no sightings. I thought for sure I was going to bump into him on the ferry. I do think I heard him splashing around this morning, but it was too foggy to be certain. :-)

Valerie @ Inner Child Fun said...

@ teachmama -- We have all learned SO much!! I'm looking forward to sharing info with you, and to find creative ways to teach Emily about organic farming too. She would LOVE this!!

Nancy said...

We vacationed in Burlington last year and LOVED American Flatbread. Their food is amazing. Who am I kidding most of the food in VT was amazing. Can't wait to hear about tomorrow's adventures.
