Summertime is pretty in The Green Mountain State (referring to the mountains after which it got its name from the first French settlers in the early 1600s, called the area's mountains the "Verd Mont") Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour & Ice Cream Shop: Unfortunately, since we arrived so late in the afternoon (one hour to closing) the Factory Tour was sold out. The tour usually sells out quickly. I joined the queue to purchase ice cream. We shared a cup of the Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Oh yes, lots of fudgy chunks of brownie goodness mixed into dark and rich chocolate ice cream. Please don't send this to the Flavor Graveyard soon... Ben & Jerry's Flavor Graveyard: We went to the The Flavor Graveyard which rested on a hill. Gone, But Not Forgotten. The Flavor Graveyard is a place where Ben & Jerry's honors discontinued flavors with granite headstones and epitaphs. Whaaat? No more Aloha Macadamia? [2001-2002] Who doesn't love their rich milk chocolate cashew Brazil-nut butter ice cream with macadamia nuts covered in white & dark fudge & milk chocolatey swirl?? I mourn their chunks and swirls :( World's Tallest Filing Cabinet: It was at one point one of 11 "Yelp's Most Outrageous Attractions." We had VT on our itinerary so we decided to look for it and turns out it wasn't too far from Ben & Jerry's Factory (27 miles). We found the stacked filing cabinets... it is said to be 38 drawers tall. The stack is made of real cabinets and sits in the parking lot at 208 Flynn Avenue in the Southwest edge of town. I think it's cool that VT had some neat stuff to see but I wouldn't go out of my way to see this. It was some random, cool roadside attraction to see. We made a pitstop at a cookie place (Vermont Cookie Love) and purchased some cookies for the road. We love the cookies... soft and not too sweet. Loved the names they chose for their cookies. They all had something to do with "love." Not sure when we'll be back in The Green Mountain State but thanks to the Great State of Vermont... and for Ben & Jerry's! Review #3789

Vermont is a state in New England and has approximately 643,000 people living there. Canada is to…read morethe North, New York to the West, Massachusetts to the South, and New Hampshire to the East of it. It's the sixth smallest state in the U.S. and the second least populated. The most populous city or town in Vermont is the City of Burlington, with 44,500 people. The capital is Montpelier with approximately 8,000. It is the seventh coldest state in the country. The Green Mountains goes through Vermont, from north to south. The mountains located there are Mount Mansfield, Killington, Camel's Hump, and Mount Abraham. These locations are known for their winter sports. There are many trails; a popular one is the Appalachian Trail, which also runs through VT. This state is also known for its maple syrup, cheddar cheese, and it's where Ben &, Jerry's was created. My family and I enjoyed our visit there. We explored the area, shopped, played, and dined. The vista was beautiful with rolling hills and mountains. It's very rural and peaceful. There's plenty more to see but we enjoyed our visit there recently.

We went in winter and it was beautiful with snow and ice everywhere, but I believe it would be equally pretty when it's warmer and one could wander about a bit more. There is a pretty library nearby as well and a nice truss bridge. It is closed in winter (after October?) so we'll have to back for a better look.

The Old Round Church in Richmond is a scenic spot for a wedding-- and everyone seems to know it…read more In the summer, if you drive through Richmond between 10am and 4pm you will nearly always see vestiges of wedding. Because the Church is not a practicing church (there are no weekly services) they do as many as three weddings there a day on Saturdays and Sundays May-October. The up side of this is that your date is unlikely to be fully blocked out. The down side to this is that you have little buffer on either side of the ceremony to decorate and un-decorate the building. The inside of the church is well-restored and if you're into a super-new-england-yankee aesthetic, you're in for a treat. It's unique inside and out and the views of the surrounding mountains outside add to the ambiance. Another tiny set-back (but not enough to knock a star off in my opinion, there are too many great things about the space) is that those Yankee Protestants of the early 1800s were by an large a lot smaller than we are today, so the pews can be a little tight for larger (or pregnant) guests. Also, it's BYO - officiant-- so you can have the scenic, yankee, vermonty setting in a church and you can have your ceremony be any denomination you want...or none. Fab.

It was built in 1844, and the most famous of the (many) stories about this bridge is that back in the 1800's, a farmer's daughter, Emily, fell in love with a young man from a rich family, but his parents refused to allow their wedding to occur. The young man told Emily to wait on the bridge at midnight, but he didn't show, and she was so distraught, she is said to have taken her own life. Allegedly, her ghost appears during the nighttime around Halloween, haunting those who come to the bridge. We drove over the quiet bridge during a summer day, but we saw no sightings of Emily !!
